Game 21
4 – Royals
5 – New York
WP – Ron Guidry (5-1)
LP – Charlie Leibrandt (2-3)
SV – Dave Righetti (5)
Balboni hit a 3-run home run for his 6th of the year, and Sundberg follwed up with his 4th, but errors by Brett, Concepcion, and Motley led to 4 unearned runs.
Game 22
3 – Royals
4 – New York
WP – Dave Righetti (1-0)
LP – Dan Quisenberry (1-1)
Can't really think of another reliever in my pen I'd rather have with the game on the line. Quisenberry is it, win or lose.
Game 23
7 – Royals
3 – New York
WP – Mark Gubicza (2-1)
LP – Dennis Rasmussen (4-1)
SV – Danny Jackson (1)
Save opportunities have been few and Quiz will get them, but he was unavailable. With Griffey, Henderson and Mattingly in the Yankees lineup, Jackson pitched a 2 1/3 inning save. Gubicza gave up 3 runs in 6.2 innings. Sundberg and Balboni homered. Greg Pryor played third, with Brett DH'ing. Pryor was the only Royal to not get a hit. Biancalana was 2-4 starting at short.
-
Losing each series 1-2 will not get me into the playoffs, although the real life Royals were swept by the Yankees.
-
My record 8-15; 6th; 6 games behind Texas
Real Life: 11-12; 3rd; 4.5 games behind California
