Game 27 – May 12
7 – Detroit
1 – Royals

WP – Jack Morris (4-0)
LP – Bud Black (2-3)

Buddy Black faced 5 left handed hitting Tigers, but they batted around in the first and then Dwight Evans and Lance Parrish went back to back in the 5th, bringing an end to Black's day.

Game 28 – May 13
9 – Detroit
13 – Royals

WP – Tony Ferreira (1-0)
LP – Mark Clear (0-1)

The Tigers plated 4 in the first but Scott Bankhead settled down and he, along with Frank DiPino and Al Holland held the Tigers scoreless until the 9th.

We scored 5 in the third with all 9 coming to the plate. All 5 were scored on 5 singles a walk and a fielder's choice. Frank White homered in the 8th to give us a 7-4 lead.

But Quisenberry gave up 3 in the 9th, and 1 in the 10th. We matched the Tiger's 8th run in the bottom of the 10th. Tony Ferreira came in as the last rested arm in the pen. He gave up a solo home run to Larry Herndon and we entered the 11th down 9 to 8.

Hal McRae singled in his lone at bat, and Willie Wilson, slowed by a moderate day to day injury came in to pinch run. I figured a slowed Wilson was better than a normal McRae. Frank White walked to put runners on 1st and 2nd, and then Jim Sundberg poked a single past the second baseman. Wilson hustled in from 2nd and scored tying run. Dave Collins (who pinch ran for Al Cowens in the 10th) loaded the bases with an infield hit.

The Pat Sheridan, already 3-5 on the day, slammed a 432 foot Grand Slam to right-center to put us in the win column.

Ferreira picks up his first major league win.
