Game 15
6 – Royals
9 – Boston

WP – Jeff Sellers (1-0)
LP – Bret Saberhagen (2-2)
SV – Steve Crawford (1)

6 runs on 12 hits, but Saberhagen gave up 8 in 5 innings. Brett warmed up a touch going 2-5 with a run and RBI. Orta hit his 2nd home Run of the year and his hitting .364.



Game 16
9 – Royals
2 – Boston

WP – Charlie Leibrandt (2-2)
LP – Al Nipper (0-2)

Broke a 4-game losing streak. When the offense works, it works. 8 starters collected a hit, with Frank White the only player to not to. Sundberg ended a home run short of hitting for the cycle. Balboni and Orta were both 2-5 with 2 runs and 2 RBIs. Concepcion even went 3-4 with a sacrifice. Leibrandt threw 100 pitches to pick up the complete game.



Game 17
8 – Royals
11 – Boston

WP – Oil Can Boyd (2-2)
LP – Mark Gubicza (1-1)

I sometimes leave a starting pitcher in for too long, and maybe that happened again with Gubicza giving up 9 in 3 innings. But the bullpen ERA sits at 5.29, 11th in the AL.

Athletic's centerfielder Dwayne Murphy is on the trade block, but I think the price is too high for him. At this point though, my OF is like this:

Darryl Motley - .303/.314/.545/.860
Willie Wilson - .263/.298/.388/.685
Pat Sheridan - .241/.371/.328/.699

Dane Iorg has been a bench disappointment, current 1-13 including 0-9 as a pinch hitter. He could be the odd man out when Jones returns from the IL.
