Game 21 – May 2
7 – Baltimore
8 – Royals
WP – Al Holland (1-1)
LP – Pete Vuckovich (0-2)
SV – Dan Quisenberry (2)
We snuck away with this one. The Orioles had a 2-run lead in the 4th when Harold Baines hit his 4th home run of the year to tie the game. Then the 6th started a string of 6 lead changes until Quiz held the Orioles in the 9th for the win.
Brett was 4-5 with 3 runs and 3 RBI's. He hit his 4th home run in the 7th. He also snagged the game winning RBI with a single in the 8th that plated Dave Collins.
Bud Black gave up 5 runs in 7 innings, including 2 home runs to Eddie Murray and Larry Sheets.
The outcome could have been worse, we turned 4 double plays in the game.
Game 22 – May 3
0 – Baltimore
4 – Royals
WP – Danny Jackson (4-1)
LP – Mike Boddicker (2-3)
Probably one of the best pitching performances I've had with this team. Jackson gave up 4 hits over 9, walking 2. He struck out 12 Orioles, setting the Royal team record.
My two big additions started the game off with solo home runs, Baines his 5th, and Trammell his 2nd. Trammell also extended his hit streak to 16.
Jackson's ERA sits at 1.05, and he's tossed 3 shutouts so far this season.
In the fifth, Cooper collected his 2000th hit, a single to right.
Game 23 – May 4
4 – Baltimore
0 – Royals
WP – Tom Seaver (2-2)
LP – Bret Saberhagen (1-4)
Tom Terrific pitched like it was the 70s again (except for the strikeouts). 6 hits, 2 walks, and 1 strikeout for his 64th career shutout. He has 1 in each of his 20 seasons except for 1982.
Brett and Pat Sheridan (DH sub) each had 2 hits, but we couldn't string anything together. Saberhagen struck out 8 in 8 innings

David Cone is gone for the season with a partially torn UCL. He was 2-1 with an ERA of 3.51 in 5 starts.
Mark Gubicza, out with a strained hamstring since the end of spring training, will be out now for an indefinite amount of time. Hopefully sooner than later.
Alan Ashby wants to be part of the starting lineup. He's 0-12 with 4 strikeouts. Sundberg is only hitting .195 with 5 RBI's.
George Brett was the AL Player of the Week. He went 14-22 with 1 HR and 6 RBI's. On the year he's eeked over the .400 mark.
