00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Kansas City Royals faced the Milwaukee Brewers at County Stadium in Milwaukee for a Friday night game on June 15, 1979.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Kansas City entered the 1979 campaign with a lot of hope, having gone to the ALCS in each of the past three seasons, but losing to the Yankees each time.

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:31,000
They were managed by Whitey Herzog, who took over as manager in 1976 from Jack McKeon, and finished in first place in the AL West every year since.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Milwaukee had a lot of optimism in 1979 as well, under manager George Bamberger, who had led the team to a 93-win season in 1978, the first time in 10 years the franchise ever finished over 500.

6
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
This audio recording is from the Kansas City Radio broadcast, featuring announcers Denny Matthews and Fred White.

7
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Hi everybody and a very pleasant good evening to you wherever you happen to be around the globe.

8
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,000
The Royals and the Brewers set the square off in game one of the three game series.

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:05,000
And Mike Caldwell, the left-hander with a record of six and five, sets the face Willie Wilson, George Brett, and Amos Otis.

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Willie comes into the game batting 342 with two home runs and 10 RBI.

11
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:16,000
He's hitting 455 against the Brewers this year, five out of 11 and one RBI.

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Willie will be up there right-handed against the spinker baller Mike Caldwell.

13
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Now we're set to go. Charlie Moore drops down a sign for Mike Caldwell.

14
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Here's the lineup in the first pitch of the ball game. It's a breaking pitch outside.

15
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Mike Caldwell making his 14th start, his first start against the Royals this year.

16
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000
He was two and one against the Royals last year.

17
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Willie Belk went into left field, Odovay the left fielder coming in makes the catch, and there's one away.

18
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Willie Wilson flies to left and now George Brett.

19
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
The Royals third baseman carries an average of 330 into the contest.

20
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
Seven home runs, 36 RBI's.

21
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
George has just one out of ten with an RBI against Milwaukee.

22
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Mike Caldwell beat the Royals twice last year.

23
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
He shut them out here in Milwaukee in May, nine to nothing.

24
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And then he beat Paul Splendorf in mid-July here, 13 to two.

25
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
He lost to the Royals in Kansas City when the Brewers were shut out.

26
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,000
The pitch to George Brett is a bit outside, ball one.

27
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Bill Howler is a play-dumb player tonight, one of the very best.

28
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000
All three games that Mike Caldwell pitched against the Royals last year were complete games.

29
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,000
George after a breaking ball didn't get it.

30
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
One ball and one strike on George Brett.

31
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Base is empty, one away, just the start of things.

32
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Bill, make yourself comfortable and spend the evening with us.

33
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
One ball, one strike on Brett.

34
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Amos Otis will be next and here's Caldwell's pitch.

35
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Breaking ball is lined to right field.

36
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
As Cano to his left he makes the catch.

37
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
George's got a breaking ball lined at straight atlas Cano.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Two Royals gone and here's Amos Otis.

39
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Amos hitting 298, five homers, 34 RBI.

40
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000
He is six out of ten against Milwaukee this year.

41
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,000
So he's a 600 hitter against the Brewers.

42
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
One home run, two RBI's and he's scored four runs.

43
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:31,000
He batted 300 against Milwaukee last year.

44
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Amos fourth in the American League and runs scored.

45
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
The pitch to Amos is a bit outside, ball one.

46
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,000
George Brett by the way leads the American League and runs scored at bats.

47
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
He leads in hits with 86.

48
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
He leads in triples and in total bases.

49
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Outside and high, two balls and no strikes on Amos Otis.

50
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Nobody on, two outs, top half of the first inning.

51
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Mike Caldwell behind Amos Otis, two balls, no strikes.

52
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Here's the pitch.

53
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,000
A little tap, Caldwell off the mound for his first base,

54
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,000
underhand toss, in time, side to tire.

55
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Two fly balls and a tap back to the pitcher and that tells the Royals

56
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
throwing in the top half of the first.

57
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
After half an inning, Royals nothing, Brewers coming up.

58
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Let's look at the tales of the baseball games played in the American League last night.

59
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:35,000
Ben Ogilvy smacked a two-run homer as the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Texas Rangers 6-2.

60
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Bill Travers went the distance in getting the win for Milwaukee.

61
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
The losing pitcher was the Rangers' Doyle Alexander.

62
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Elsewhere, Willie Hickens did his second grand slam homer in as many games

63
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
as the California Angels with the Toronto Blue Jays 10-2.

64
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Hickens became a ninth player to hit bases for homers in consecutive games.

65
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:59,000
The Seattle Mariners spoiled Bucky Anderson's debut as manager of the Detroit Tigers.

66
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,000
The Mariners edged a bingo 3-2 when Detroit's Arulio Rodriguez booted an infield grounder

67
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000
in the ninth, allowing Leon Roberts the score from first.

68
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
John Raleigh got the win for the Seattle.

69
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Detroit's John Hiller was the loser.

70
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Butch Warniger's double scored three runs during a fourth run, fourth inning uprising

71
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000
to taste the Minnesota Twins to a 42-win over the New York Yankees.

72
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Zan worked the first six innings while giving up five hits,

73
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,000
and super reliever Mike Marshall earned his 15th save in his 37th appearance

74
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
by scattering two hits over the final three innings.

75
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,000
In the other American late game, Jim Norris' two-run triple in the bottom of the ninth

76
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
gave the Cleveland Indians a 2-1 squeaker over the Oakland A's.

77
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And Monge got the win in relief of starter Len Barker.

78
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Jim Todd took the loss for Oakland.

79
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Oakland, Toronto by the way after five tonight, it's Toronto leading the A's 2-0.

80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
The Milwaukee Brewers come to bat in the bottom of the first inning.

81
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Paul Splitorf on the mound for the Royals.

82
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Paul hasn't pitched in nine days.

83
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:10,000
He missed his turn against the Yankees on Sunday in Kansas City because of the flu.

84
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
He's making his 15th start his second against the Brewers.

85
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Paul Hollacher leading off, Paul hitting 303 with four home runs.

86
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,000
23 RVIs, he has a five-game hitting streak.

87
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Paul starts him off with a breaking pitch and it's inside in low ball one.

88
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Paul Hollacher, four out of 13 against the Royals this year.

89
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
He's got eight for 23 in his five-game hitting streak.

90
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Fast ball, good cut, he fouled it back to the screen, and the count is one and one.

91
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Paul Hollacher in his last 25 games has been a 370 hitter.

92
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Sixty-nine hits now for Paul, right-hand batter, Splitorf fits off speed and low and outside.

93
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,000
Two balls and a strike.

94
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Splitorf has won seven of his last ten decisions.

95
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Right up his low, three balls and a strike.

96
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,000
The Brewers lead the American League and walks drawn.

97
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
They've drawn 253 walks.

98
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
So you better throw strikes to this team.

99
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Hounston's all-based at the left.

100
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Hollacher opens the bottom of the first with a ground ball single between Brett and Pacha.

101
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
So what happened is Splitorf ran the count three-one.

102
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,000
He got behind Hollacher, then he did throw a strike and Hollacher promptly single.

103
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Here's Leesville Cooper throwing his first baseman.

104
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Two-pitting 295, 11 home runs, 45 RBI.

105
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Leesville is 0 for 9 against the Royals this year.

106
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Paul Hollacher at first will bear watching.

107
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
He has 13 steals.

108
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
George Scott wearing a Royal uniform.

109
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000
He's holding the runner on.

110
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Paul pitches up too high to the left-hand batter.

111
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Ball one.

112
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Splitorf is tied for a third in the American League with eight victories.

113
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,000
He has five complete games and complete games in his last two outings.

114
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Good breaking ball for a strike.

115
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And it's evened out one-and-one on Leesville Cooper.

116
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,000
His most recent outing came on June the 6th in Baltimore.

117
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,000
He lost three to nothing.

118
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,000
He went the distance with a amount of two eight innings, allowed three runs, seven hits, two walks, and a strikeout.

119
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Here's the one-one pitch to Cooper.

120
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Coop had an ocean and laid off.

121
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
It was just outside.

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Two balls and a strike.

123
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Paul is three and four against the Eastern Division team, five and one against the West.

124
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,000
He's pitched very well at the Royal Stadium, winning six of seven.

125
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
He's won two of six on the road.

126
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
He's played high ball three and is three and one.

127
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Paul has been behind three and one to the first two hitters.

128
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Well, as we said, he hasn't pitched in nine days.

129
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
And as he put it before the game, I really don't know what to expect.

130
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
The runner goes and the pitch is fouled away.

131
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
The ball was here.

132
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
The runner at first was running with the three-one pitch.

133
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:25,000
He'll go back to first and now the count is three and two and we'll check him out again.

134
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Waiting his turn in the on deck circle, Sal Bando.

135
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Three balls, two strikes on Cecil Cooper.

136
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Signal given by Gerald Porter.

137
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Here's the stretch by Paul.

138
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Over to first he goes, thinking that Molitor will be on the move.

139
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,000
But they just start against the Brewers in Kansas City on June the 2nd.

140
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Went the distance for a four to three win.

141
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
The runner does go and a ground ball based at the right field.

142
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Molitor on his way to third.

143
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And the Brewers have first and third, nobody else.

144
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:09,000
And those Thomas Rhodes will be coming up.

145
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Boy, that's a perfect example of how tough it is to pitch behind big league hitters.

146
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Even with Paul's selection of pitches.

147
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
The fast ball, the curve ball, slider.

148
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
He changes off the curve.

149
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
He'll throw it.

150
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
It's a great change.

151
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
It's tough when you're behind.

152
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And the Brewers have runners in first and third to prove it.

153
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Here's Sal Bando.

154
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Bando hitting.28.

155
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Four homers, 16 RBI.

156
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
He has always did well against the Royals.

157
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,000
He was tough against the Royals as a member of the A's.

158
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Then he changed uniforms.

159
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
But that didn't change.

160
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
The ball is a breaking ball.

161
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Lewin inside, all one.

162
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Sal, right hand batter.

163
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Dockley-Bill chokes the bat.

164
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
He chokes about three inches.

165
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Runners at the corner, the 1-0 pitch.

166
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Curve ball, a strike at the letter.

167
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
One and one.

168
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Cleveland just pasting Seattle.

169
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
It's now nine to nothing.

170
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Bobby Barnes, home in the third inning with nobody on his eighth.

171
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Here's the 1-1 pitch to Bando.

172
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Ball did not get the corner.

173
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Two balls and a strike.

174
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Meanwhile in Toronto, it's Toronto two.

175
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The Oakland A's nothing.

176
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,000
They play four.

177
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
The Mets have a 1-0 lead over Atlanta after two at Shea.

178
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Two balls and a strike on Bando.

179
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Runners at first and third.

180
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Hot shot foul outside third.

181
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
And the county evens out at two balls and two strikes.

182
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Detroit one, California nothing.

183
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
They have played two in Detroit.

184
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Marky Anderson now at the helm of the Tigers.

185
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000
When Slidoff beat the Brewers in Kansas City on June the 2nd,

186
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,000
he allowed nine hits, three runs, walk five, strikeout three.

187
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000
The 2-2 pitch to Bando, felt as a deep left field.

188
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:15,000
The Brewers were very welcome, and a wall five.

189
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:38,000
One swing of the bat and Sal Bando makes it to Milwaukee three,

190
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
the Royals nothing.

191
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000
For Sal, a three run homer, his fifth home run of the year.

192
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Two singles and a home run by Bando.

193
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:51,000
A very unpromising start for the Royals.

194
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Here is Gorman Thomas, a 2-35 hitter.

195
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Big curve ball, one and missed, 0-1.

196
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:07,000
For Gorman Thomas, 13 home runs, 38 RBIs.

197
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Thomas is third in the league in three passes.

198
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
He's walked 43 times.

199
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:21,000
Curve ball, strike call, 0-2.

200
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Thomas is tied for third in the American league, in home run.

201
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
No balls, two strikes, right hand batter.

202
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
Breaking stuff is low, one ball, two strikes on Gorman Thomas.

203
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:42,000
That was the eighth home run that Paul Slidoff has yielded this year.

204
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
It was good for three, singles by Molitor and Cooper preceded Bando's blast into the left field seat.

205
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:52,000
The Royals one-two change to Thomas and sit on one off the pot deck.

206
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
Freddy fires to first in time.

207
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Gorman Thomas retired, one away and here is Ben Oldenly.

208
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
The base is empty, one out, the batter is Ben Oldenly.

209
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
And a 2-32 hitter, a dozen homers, 36 RBIs.

210
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:22,000
He's had his last 12 games as the 3-11, 14-4-45.

211
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,000
He's two out of seven against the Royals.

212
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Paul Slidoff pitched to the tall, thin left hand batters, low and outside, ball one.

213
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Well, the Royals are winding down a stretch of 19 consecutive games against the top four teams in the Eastern Division.

214
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
This three game set with the Brewers will end that.

215
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:48,000
The Royals strike on the outside corner, overly not so sure, turns and looks at Bill Haller, the plate umpire.

216
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,000
The Royals in this stretch of games have won seven, they've lost nine.

217
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000
They beat the Brewers two out of three in Kansas City last week.

218
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000
There's a drive to deep center, back goes Amazotas to the center field.

219
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Whoa, he leaps up and makes a catch.

220
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Fine, fine play by Royals center fielder Amazotas.

221
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:15,000
He timed his leap perfectly and the only reason that Ben Ogilvy didn't hit a home run, he picked on the deepest part of the ballpark.

222
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,000
4-0-2 to straightaway center.

223
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:24,000
That's what Otis was when he hauled down that long drive.

224
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
Here is 6th to Liscano, Milwaukee right fielder.

225
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Liscano batting 3-20 with eight homers, 38 batted in.

226
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:37,000
He is hit safely in fourth straight.

227
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,000
So Paul Splendorf getting rocked here in the first inning.

228
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Three to nothing Brewers, two singles and then Vandos free run homer.

229
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:57,000
Curve to Liscano, right end batters, low ball one.

230
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Foot ready and he comes with a fast ball that's down low, two balls and no strikes.

231
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Royals still reeling from playing the Boston Red Sox two nights ago, the Red Sox getting 18 hits including four homers.

232
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:20,000
One of them a grand slam, there's ball free to Liscano.

233
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,000
Liscano will quite likely swing if he likes his pitch.

234
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,000
He took a strike and it's 3-1.

235
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:35,000
He has more power than you would think just to look at it.

236
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Fast ball, he chopped it up along third foul, three balls and two strikes.

237
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Tomorrow either Marty Patton or Steve Busby for the Royals, Jim Slayton pitching for the Brewers.

238
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:54,000
And on Sunday Rich Gale and Larry Sorensen.

239
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And you'd say either Marty Patton or Steve Busby.

240
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,000
You can see what kind of shape the Royals staff is in.

241
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:10,000
High ball four and Liscano walks.

242
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000
The batter is shortstop Robin Yowd. Yowd hitting 231, four homers and 17 RBI.

243
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Al Robosky is the only pitcher on the staff who hasn't started a game this season.

244
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Dennis Leonard hasn't worked since the 24th of May because of inflammation in his right elbow.

245
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Steve Busby was forced out of Monday night's game after nine and a third innings because of a full groin muscle.

246
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,000
The out of right hand batter takes inside ball one.

247
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Paul Splendorf as we mentioned making his first start in nine days.

248
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Steven Gore had to start a game against the Yankees, his first start in four years.

249
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Breaking ball hit up the middle, takes it.

250
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Liscano around second on his way to third on Robin Yowd's single.

251
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:05,000
Out comes pitching coach Galen Sisco.

252
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:14,000
The last thing the manager, Whitey Herzog, wanted tonight was to pull his starting pitcher in the first two or three innings.

253
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000
So I'm sure just because of the physical state of the royal pitching staff, he'll go much longer than he normally would with Paul.

254
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:31,000
But the Brewers are certainly taking liberties here in the first unless Paul can find himself and get his good stuff.

255
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
It's going to be a long night.

256
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
The runners at first and third, two down.

257
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Three singles, a three run home running a walk here in the inning.

258
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,000
The Brewers aren't through yet.

259
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Dick Davis, the D8, coming to the plate.

260
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Davis in a 266, four homers, a dozen RBI.

261
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Darrell Porter out to visit with Paul.

262
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Dick Davis right hand batter.

263
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Normally when Galen Sisco comes out, that means the bullpen will start.

264
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:20,000
But like we said, the Royals can't afford to have their starting pitcher leave in the first few innings so the bullpen is quiet.

265
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,000
The pitch to Dick Davis, bouncing ball deep third.

266
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Brett will have a long throw to make and it's on target.

267
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Good play by George.

268
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
George Brett to George Scott by George.

269
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
The Brewers are up.

270
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,000
But they come up with three runs, four hits from the Big Bull.

271
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Bando's three run homer.

272
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000
The end of one, Milwaukee three and the Royals nothing.

273
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Looking at the National League results from last night, Mick Kelliger, last two out, two runs single off reliever Gary LaValle in the top of the ninth inning to get the Chicago Cubs an 8-6 win over the San Francisco Giants.

274
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,000
The hits followed a wild pitch that moved Cubs runners in the scoring position.

275
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
LaValle took the loss.

276
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Cubs reliever Dick Tidro got the victory.

277
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Willie McCovey of the Giants.

278
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Homer in the third, his 513th lifetime, moving him into ninth place on the all-time list.

279
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Another action, Gary Carter's two run double in the eighth inning helped the Montreal Expos beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3.

280
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Reliever Elias Sosa pitched two innings of hitless balls and knocked the victory.

281
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
Atlanta's Gene Garber was the loser.

282
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:30,000
On the West Coast at San Diego, pinch hitter Barry Evans lined a two out single to right center in the bottom of the 14th inning to score Ozzie Smith from second base.

283
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:38,000
He gives the San Diego Pirates a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in a sweep of the three game series from the buttons.

284
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:48,000
After John Candelara making a rare relief appearance, retired the first two batters in the bottom of the 14th, Smith reached first when shortstop Tim Foley booted his grounder for an error.

285
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Dave Winfield then drew a walk before Evans smacked his game-winning hit.

286
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:00,000
John DiAquisto now three and four, pitched the final inning to gain the victory and Candelara took the loss, his record falls to four and six.

287
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,000
We'll be checking the American and National League scoreboard.

288
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
A lot of games underway now in a few moments.

289
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
In fact, there are all the games underway in the American League and there are three in the Nationals.

290
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:17,000
The Drillers leading three to nothing and for the Royals, Al Cowans, George Scott and Darrell Porter will be coming up against Mike Caldwell.

291
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Before the Royals bat, let's pause for station identification.

292
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
This is the Kansas City Royals Radio Network.

293
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

294
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
This is Denny Matthews at Milwaukee's County Stadium.

295
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Three runs, four hits for the Milwaukee Drillers.

296
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000
The Royals went down one, two, three against Mike Caldwell in the first.

297
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:48,000
The batter Al Cowans, Al hitting 323, five homers, 31 RBI.

298
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Al is three out of eight with two runs batted in against the Brewers this year.

299
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Cowans has been coming off the disabled list 14 games ago on May the 30th.

300
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:06,000
At bat at 353, that's 18-4-51 with seven RBI's and five run scores.

301
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Al in his five-game hitting streak has gone nine for 21.

302
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000
And he's driven in at least one run in five of his last seven games.

303
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Mike Caldwell's pitch is a curve ball low and inside.

304
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Al had to be quick with his feet to avoid being spunked in the ankle.

305
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
One and oh.

306
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Mike Caldwell, one and one this month.

307
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,000
He lost his last outing to the White Sox, six to two.

308
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,000
That was here at County Stadium on the ninth.

309
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
Mike allowed five runs and eight innings.

310
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Six hits, didn't walk anybody, struck out four.

311
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
He beat the White Sox on June the 4th.

312
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
That was in Chicago and he shut them out six to nothing.

313
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,000
He started the season with wins over the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Orioles.

314
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,000
Nice shot into center field, they sit for talent.

315
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,000
So Al the Royals first base runner and now George Scott making his first appearance at the plate in a Royal uniform.

316
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000
And Scottie a former Brewer and he hears the fans.

317
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
He's a favorite here at O'Holme.

318
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:19,000
George must feel right at home in the sense that this was the kind of reception he was getting in Boston.

319
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:25,000
He was traded to the Royals two days ago for outfielder Tom Pochette.

320
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
So here's Scottie wearing number zero.

321
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Al Oliver of the Rangers also wears zero.

322
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:41,000
And a fitch is on the outside corner for Mike Caldwell.

323
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Mike Caldwell, 30 years old, just had a tremendous season in 1978.

324
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:51,000
A 22 game winner, George Scott, hits a high pop foul into the seats down the right field line.

325
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
No balls and two strikes.

326
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Only the Yankees, Ron Guidry, had a better season than Milwaukee Brewer's left-hander Mike Caldwell last year.

327
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,000
Mike throws a sinker, a slider, a curve, and a change.

328
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,000
And he will keep everything down.

329
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:22,000
He can be a very tough pitcher on a right-hand batter even though he's a left-hander because that sinker will kind of break down and away from the right-hand batter.

330
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
So he'll get a number of double plays out of that pitch, especially if they try to pull it.

331
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Scottie, after a breaking ball, shot the foul right at the feet of the catcher Charlie Moore from the Cattleman 2.

332
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Mike Caldwell, a tough competitor.

333
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Time was when he would fuss around in the mound and take all kinds of time.

334
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
But not anymore. He's become more aggressive.

335
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
He's speeded things up and he's a better pitcher.

336
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:55,000
A five-ball rather deep center. Gorman Thomas back into his left of the warning track to one-handed.

337
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:00,000
And Fowlens almost down the second half to retreat to first.

338
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,000
So Mike Caldwell kept Scottie in the ballpark even though George St. Sinterfield and Gorman Thomas back to the wall.

339
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,000
One away, here comes catcher Darrell Porter, a Darrell, a former Milwaukee Brewer.

340
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Darrell batting 296, seven home runs, 48 RBI.

341
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,000
Darrell against his old team this year, three out of seven.

342
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Two runs scored, two batted in.

343
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Mike Caldwell goes to first. Al Fowlens is back.

344
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Nothing special at all about Mike Caldwell's move to first.

345
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000
The Royals feel that they can run on Caldwell.

346
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Although now down three to nothing, well that's a different story perhaps.

347
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Outside to Darrell Porter, one ball, no strikes.

348
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:06,000
The Royals, maybe more than any team in baseball, will run when they are behind in the score.

349
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Darrell gets the pitch in too tight, and they count two and oh.

350
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:18,000
The reason for that, the Royals are not a power team. They don't play in a power ballpark.

351
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:24,000
So even though they trail two nothing, three nothing, six nothing, they'll still play their running game.

352
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
That's their offense, bouncing ball to second baseman Molliger.

353
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Over to Yelp for the force of second and Al Fowlens and that's all they get.

354
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,000
Darrell is first with two down and John Loppen coming up.

355
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Duke to DH tonight, he's hitting 244 with 14 RVIs and one home run.

356
00:26:50,000 --> 00:27:01,000
Milwaukee three, Royals nothing. We're in the top of the second.

357
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Beautiful night, rather strong breeze blowing toward left.

358
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
The temperature at game time was 84.

359
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Loppen takes down low, one ball, no strikes.

360
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Duke over four against the Brewers.

361
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Darrell Porter a very safe lead at first, Mike Caldwell's pitch.

362
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,000
What after a breaking ball and this in the count of one and one?

363
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:37,000
He's currently tied with teammate Larry Sorensen for the league's top spot in complete game.

364
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Both Milwaukee pitchers have nine complete games.

365
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
Bouncing ball off the tip of the pitcher's glove.

366
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Second baseman Molliger shovels for the church stop Yelp for the force on Darrell Porter.

367
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,000
And that retires the side. The Royals in the top of the second, one hit, no runs.

368
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
One man left. We move to the bottom of the second inning.

369
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
The Brewers three and the Royals nothing.

370
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Okay, let's check the baseball scoreboard now.

371
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Other American league action after four innings of play.

372
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Cleveland pouring it on Seattle nine to two.

373
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
They had one in the first, seven in the second, and one in the third.

374
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Two runs to Seattle in the fourth.

375
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Jones, Seattle is 14th of the year in the fourth with nobody on.

376
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
California Detroit after three.

377
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
The Angels lead the Tigers three to two.

378
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,000
Bobby Gritch a home run for the Angels in the fourth with nobody on.

379
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
He is 14th of the year.

380
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Five innings of play. Toronto ahead of Oakland three to nothing.

381
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Boston and Chicago first inning, White Sox two, Red Sox one.

382
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:34,000
After two, Baltimore leads Minnesota one nothing on a John Loewenstein.

383
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Home run into the center field seat.

384
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
It's sixth of the year.

385
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:44,000
In the second, nobody on. New York and Texas no score after two and a half innings of play.

386
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Checking the National League scoreboard now after four.

387
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Houston one. Montreal one. Four and a half.

388
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
The Mets lead Atlanta one nothing.

389
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000
The Mets lead the Mets to play. The Philadelphia Phillies three.

390
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
And the Cincinnati Reds one.

391
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Three late games on the West Coast in the National League.

392
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,000
St. Louis to San Francisco. Pete Vukovich six and three.

393
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
The probable pitcher for the Cardinals for San Francisco.

394
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
Phil Nassau two and four.

395
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
Pittsburgh at Los Angeles for the Pirates.

396
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Burt Lylev in two and two.

397
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
For the Dodgers, Don Sutton six and six.

398
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Chicago Cubs at San Diego.

399
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
For the Cubs, Rick Ruschel five and five.

400
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
For the Padres, it's expected to be Eric Rasmussen.

401
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,000
His record so far three and six.

402
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
In Milwaukee, it's three nothing Brewers.

403
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,000
Three runs on four hits for Milwaukee as they sent eight men to the plate in the first inning.

404
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Val Vando a three run home run following singles by Molitor and Cooper.

405
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Here's Charlie Moore the catcher, the number nine hitter, and Charlie takes the strike.

406
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Charlie Moore batting three sixty two with a home run and fifteen RVIs.

407
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Right hand batter, split or curveball of beauty, strike two.

408
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:57,000
Charlie Moore in his last twenty eight games has twenty nine hits and seventy five at bat.

409
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000
That figures out to a three eighty seven average.

410
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Inside a fastball, got his attention.

411
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
One and two.

412
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000
John Lowenstein has Fomers for Baltimore in Minnesota.

413
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000
And the Orioles have taken a one to nothing lead over the twins, Lowenstein Fomer his six.

414
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Lowen outside is ball two and two now to Charlie Moore.

415
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Lowenstein Fomer run came in the second inning.

416
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,000
Rupert Jones, a former Royal has Fomer for Seattle.

417
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:33,000
Curved strike three call. Charlie Moore fooled by a breaking pitch.

418
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:36,000
For ball split off his first strike out.

419
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And the second baseman Paul Molitor who extended his hitting three to six with his first hitting single.

420
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Rupert Jones home run in the fourth inning with nobody on was his fourteenth.

421
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,000
But Cleveland way out in front of the Mariners nine to two.

422
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,000
The Angels have tied the Tigers in a home run by Bob Gritch.

423
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
That came in the fourth inning with nobody on.

424
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:06,000
Gritch is a ball. One ball no strikes on Paul Molitor.

425
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,000
The left hander deals. Off speed breaking pitch out of the strike zone.

426
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:17,000
Ball two, two and oh.

427
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,000
Signal given the two oh pitch.

428
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Ball three.

429
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Paul walked a man in the first inning. He walked Liz Cano.

430
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,000
The problem started working behind the hitters.

431
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
There's a strike three and one.

432
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,000
He fell behind both Molitor and Cooper. They both singled.

433
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
He was two and two on Sal Bando and Sal Homer into the seats and left.

434
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Molitor a wicked swing and a fast ball and he fouled it back to the screen.

435
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Full count three and two.

436
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:55,000
The Brewers started the night tied with the Boston Red Sox for the American League lead in home run.

437
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Now 68 team home run.

438
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Bouncing ball passed the mound. Backhanded by White.

439
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Frank will have no play. It'll be an infield single for Molitor.

440
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Frank made a nice play just to get to the ball.

441
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Once he came up with it in short center field on the backhand he had nowhere to go with it.

442
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Molitor had already crossed the base.

443
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Hit number five for Milwaukee here in Cecil Cooper who like Molitor singled and scored his first time up.

444
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:39,000
What to the Rasmus bag now doing a little landscaping down in front of the pitching rudder.

445
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:48,000
The Royals team are on average as the rudder runs slightly 4.53.

446
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:58,000
One ball no strikes on left hand hitting Cecil Cooper.

447
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:02,000
One on one out three to nothing Milwaukee. Here's the pitch.

448
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Power ball backing out of play.

449
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:20,000
Cecil Cooper had a good cut of that pitch.

450
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:26,000
One ball and one strike on the Milwaukee Brewers first baseman.

451
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Cooper now has 73 hits for the year.

452
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:40,000
He checks the runner. Here's the pitch. That ball is high. Two balls and a strike.

453
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Cecil Cooper had a fine year in 78. He batted 312 with 13 home runs.

454
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,000
54 RBI.

455
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
High fly ball right field.

456
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Howins to his right. Still drifting to his right.

457
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Calling for the ball and makes the catch.

458
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,000
And Molitor back to first.

459
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Cecil Cooper is just two home runs behind his output of the 1978 season.

460
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Here in the second he's gone on a fly ball to right and here is Sal Bando.

461
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Sal hit his sixth home run of the year in the first inning with two men on.

462
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
And that's the ball game at this point.

463
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Three nothing Brewers. Bottom of the second.

464
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Runner in first. Two down.

465
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:25,000
All split off. Checking in with Darrell Porter.

466
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Darrell drops down a sign. Paul Splittor set up the belt.

467
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,000
There goes the runner. Bando takes inside and no throw as the ball is blowing inside.

468
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Darrell could not come up with it.

469
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:45,000
And Molitor has his 14th still in base.

470
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:53,000
So a chance for Sal Bando to get his fourth RBI of the game and his 20th of the year.

471
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,000
There goes Molitor towards third and no throw.

472
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Ahead for his fly.

473
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,000
15th still in base. Molitor got a tremendous jump.

474
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Neither Potjeg nor Frank White very close to second base.

475
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Paul didn't pay that much attention to Molitor.

476
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:21,000
And even though with two outies not that much better off at third than at second, Molitor figures what the heck.

477
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000
If they don't care, I'm going.

478
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:33,000
So an infield hit. Wild pitch, pass ball and air could get the Brewers their fourth run.

479
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Two balls, no strikes. The ball is behind Sal Bando.

480
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:47,000
Eyeball free.

481
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Bando checking with Bob Rogers his third base coach.

482
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Let's see if they have the cuffs on Sal.

483
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,000
The 3-0 pitch. Now he's swinging and what a cut he had. He fouled it back.

484
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,000
It figures that Bando is swinging. Here's your number three hitter. You're leading three to nothing.

485
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:09,000
There are two out and runner in third. Why not?

486
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,000
Already the 3-1 pitch.

487
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Breaking ball well-prone and the best Bando could do with that pitch was to top a foul right at the feet of Darrell Porter.

488
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Three and two.

489
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,000
All-spin on his lifetime against Milwaukee.

490
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Eleven wins and six losses. Bando takes out five all-for.

491
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Batter Dorman Thomas. Thomas bounced out to Patek his first time up.

492
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Big strong right hand batter. Dorman Thomas 6'3, 2'05.

493
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:11,000
Dorman is 32 home runs last year. Thirteen so far this season. Runners in first and third, two down.

494
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:18,000
After a breaking ball he topped a foul. No balls and a strike.

495
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Dorman Thomas will see a lot of breaking stuff, off-speed pitches.

496
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,000
All through both that time and off-speed turf.

497
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,000
Molitor third, Bando at first, two down, bottom of the second.

498
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,000
The Brewers by three and threatening. The one strike pitch to Thomas.

499
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Curve ball missed. One and one.

500
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:52,000
The start of a ten game trip for the Royals. Three here in Milwaukee, then four in Oakland, and three in Anaheim against the Angels.

501
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Back home to play the A's and the Angels.

502
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:03,000
One one pitch to Thomas. Bounced up along third foul. One and two.

503
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:15,000
The meetings of the A's and the Angels will be the first of the year between the Royals and those two ball clubs.

504
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
One ball, two strikes on Dorman Thomas.

505
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Three runs, five hits for the Brewers. No runs, one hit for the Royals. The Royals hit a single by Al Collins.

506
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Paul has the advantage in the count.

507
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
The left-hander at the belt, and the one two pitch.

508
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Fast ball just missed the inside corner.

509
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:45,000
He talked about the guessing game between pitcher and hitter. Paul had thrown him a lot of off-speed stuff.

510
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:51,000
He got a few curve balls, and then falls together with Darrell Porter, feeling that Thomas would be looking that way.

511
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Tried to sneak the fast ball on the inside edge, but barely missed. Now the two two pitch.

512
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
Back to the curve, and a wide drive into right field. They miss.

513
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:06,000
Hollister scores. Bando checks in his second, and it's four to nothing Brewers.

514
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:11,000
I'll say this about Dorman Thomas. He didn't try to pull the pitch or fight it.

515
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:15,000
He just curved it ever so gently over Frank White out in the right field.

516
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Thomas drives in his thirty-ninth run of the year. Four to nothing Brewers on a half a dozen hits.

517
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:38,000
There's Ben Ogilvie. Ogilvie sends center fielder Amos Otis back to the wall for his long drive in the first.

518
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:45,000
And here's our stretch, a curve into the dirt. Ball one.

519
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:50,000
Well, the Royal Bullpen can wait no longer. Eduardo Rodriguez begins to throw.

520
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Eddie, a former Brewer, two on, two out. One ball, no strikes.

521
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Huge power off the end of the bat. It rolls into the Royal dugout.

522
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:09,000
One and one to count on Ben Ogilvie.

523
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:15,000
It has been a long and tough two innings for Paul Slidov.

524
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,000
He has struggled. A ball and a strike. Here's the pitch.

525
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:24,000
Curve ball is pulled down the right field line, hooking foul into the seat.

526
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Ogilvie did not have a good swing at all. In fact, he's hooked the bat.

527
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:36,000
He was so far out in front of that slow curve, he hit it right off the end of the bat and tacked it.

528
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:48,000
One ball, two strikes on Ogilvie. Ben, a former Red Sox outfielder, first baseman. He also played with the Tigers.

529
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Ben had a fine season in 78, hitting 303 with 18 home runs. 71 RBIs.

530
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,000
He raised fifth in the American League with that 303 average.

531
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:05,000
He was ranked ninth in the league in slugging percentage.

532
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000
One ball, two strikes. Slidov checking the runners. Here's the pitch.

533
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Into the dirt, knocked down by Darrell Porter, no advance.

534
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Darrell couldn't find it for a second, but then he heard the ball hit behind him and to the left.

535
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
He made a good play to keep the ball that close to him.

536
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
It was a tough pitch to handle, a breaking ball into the dirt.

537
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:33,000
A breaking ball in the dirt, much tougher for the catcher than a fast ball in the dirt.

538
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:38,000
Here's the 2-2 pitch. Fast ball missed outside, 3-2.

539
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Now the Brewers will have the additional offense of the day of having the runners move.

540
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:48,000
Vando with slightly below average speed at first, Gorman Thomas, about average speed.

541
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Back into a second, Thomas the first. Frank Howard, the first base coach, marking some instructions.

542
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:59,000
There go the runners. Bouncing ball up the first base line, foul.

543
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:06,000
Paul made a great pitch that time. He had Ben Ogilvy hopelessly tied up with a pitch right in on the hand.

544
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:13,000
And Ogilvy, a half swing, almost a check swing, just dribbled one up along the first base line.

545
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Unfortunately for Ben Ogilvy, the ball just veered off foul.

546
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:24,000
So once again the runners will be on the move. Vando from second, Gorman Thomas from first.

547
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Foot are ready and now the 3-2 pitch to Ben Ogilvy.

548
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Sharply hit ground ball, but right at Frank White who bobbles, recovers and throws out first.

549
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Ben Ogilvy to refire the side.

550
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000
So the Brewers, out of all that, get one run on two hits.

551
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:44,000
They lead two, they stranded four, and after two innings in Milwaukee the Brewers four, and the Royals nothing.

552
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000
Let's recheck the scoreboard now. The American League, Bobby Gritch having quite a night.

553
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,000
He's got two home runs so far, the ex-Oreo has, for the California Angels.

554
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,000
First one in the fourth, nobody on his 14th. Again Gritch in the fourth with one on for the Angels.

555
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
His 15th of the year. So California leading Detroit five to two.

556
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,000
And three of the runs responsible for the big bat of Bobby Gritch.

557
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Seattle and Cleveland five innings, the Indians pouring it on the Mariners nine to two.

558
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,000
Six and a half, Toronto four, Oakland nothing.

559
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Nothing further on Boston, Chicago one inning of play.

560
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,000
The White Sox lead the Bull Sox by a score of two to one.

561
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,000
National League scoreboard four innings, Houston one, Montreal one.

562
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Four and a half, Mets one, Braves nothing.

563
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Three and a half, Cincinnati leading Philadelphia four to three.

564
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:34,000
And of course later starts, as we mentioned, Chicago at San Diego, Pittsburgh at Los Angeles, and St. Louis at San Francisco.

565
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,000
The Minnesota Twins today reactivated third baseman Mike Kovach.

566
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:40,000
We've been on the disabled list for the bad backs since May 28.

567
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Kovach resides in offseason in Charlottesville, Virginia.

568
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:53,000
He played the high school ball in Charlottesville, which is not too far from Washington, D.C., and was also quite a football player.

569
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:59,000
To make room for Kovach on the roster, infielder Dan Graham was optioned to Toledo of the AAA International League.

570
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Graham had only four bats with the Twins.

571
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:08,000
And the Milwaukee Brewers announced tonight they're sending relief pitcher Lance Rossum to their AAA Farm Club in Vancouver.

572
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:15,000
The Brewers reduced the roster to 24, leaving one spot open in anticipation of the return of Don Money, who's out with a poor hamstring.

573
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,000
We play two innings at County Stadium, Milwaukee.

574
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:22,000
The Brewers lead the Royals four to nothing. Four runs, six hits, no errors for Milwaukee.

575
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,000
The Royals, no runs, one hit, and no errors.

576
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Frank Leifert, Fred Patek, Willie Wilson coming up against Mike Caldwell, and here's Fred.

577
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
All right, thank you, Danny. The Royals are going to have to get some offense if they're going to stay in it.

578
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Paul Spiddler, having been rocked the first two innings, still in the ballgame, trying to find himself.

579
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:43,000
But the Royals need to produce something.

580
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:53,000
Frank White, a 284 hitter.

581
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Light-headed batter in.

582
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:04,000
First pick two, and misses ball one.

583
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Frank Savage, who's up 284, three homers, a dozen RBIs.

584
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,000
He's a high-pop foul back to the plate.

585
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Show me more to take a look, but he doesn't have a play.

586
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
And it counts even one ball, one strike.

587
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:30,000
Frank just back in action after missing 32 games with a broken hand.

588
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:43,000
A couple of games against Boston under his belt. It was first thought that this would be the first time he had played.

589
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:50,000
So the Royals' injuries are healing up now. Al McCrae could return.

590
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:54,000
So if they can get their pitching load straightened out, maybe they can get everything all turned around.

591
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,000
They've struggled a plate. The Royals have won the two of their last ten ballgames.

592
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,000
The pitch, Frank's in front of the bunt, takes a pitch outside, ball two, two and one.

593
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:10,000
Well, it's really an improvement, we'll see.

594
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Now Cowan's got the Royals' only hit off Mike Caldwell in the first two innings.

595
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,000
A pick to Frank White, a sharp shot down to the third baseman, Sal Bando throws him out.

596
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,000
Bando to his left a step or two, throws out Frank White.

597
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Now here's Fred Pockett, a 236 hitter.

598
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,000
Pockett missed a couple of ballgames with a sore leg, he's back in action.

599
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Pitch to him, ball high, ball wide.

600
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Mike Caldwell doesn't walk many minutes, he's around the plate all the time.

601
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,000
The pitch is the outside corner, now two and O to Buddy.

602
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:07,000
One of the few times Caldwell's only been behind a hitter.

603
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Willie Wilson next if anybody gets on, George Brett.

604
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Two O pitch, Mike Caldwell is two and one, Buddy taking.

605
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:24,000
A three run first inning home run by Sal Bando, the big blow in the ballgame.

606
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
Here's the pitch, hot shot headed from left, Robin Young can't get there, base hit.

607
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,000
So funny Pockett singles.

608
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:37,000
And now Willie Wilson, who has got on a five ball to the left his first time up.

609
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:42,000
The way those have their second hit of the ballgame.

610
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Willie taking a look down at Chuck Giller, his third base coach before he steps in.

611
00:47:53,000 --> 00:48:00,000
Willie and Chuck can't get together every time Willie looks, Chuck looking the other way, Chuck gives signs and Willie's not looking.

612
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Bando shortened up a third, the outfield playing Willie straight away.

613
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:14,000
You can see the outfields in the American League starting to show Willie a little bit more respect, the pitch to him, long and this.

614
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:23,000
Early in the year they all played him very, very shallow but now they've retreated to normal depth.

615
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:29,000
One strike to Wilson, Charlie Moore put down a sign, Caldwell's ready, left-hander pitch.

616
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:39,000
It's low and the count evens out 1-1.

617
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:45,000
Caldwell, Pregnadier's cap, picks up the sign, here's the stretch and the pitch.

618
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:52,000
Ball inside, breaking stuff in this, two balls and a strike to Willie.

619
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:58,000
The beginning of a ten-game road trip for the Royal Three here in Milwaukee, four in Oakland, three in Anaheim.

620
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:04,000
Well you realize this will be the first meeting this year between the Royals and the A's and the Royals and the Angels.

621
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Ground ball, pass third, two to the cap now.

622
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Willie got one fouled off.

623
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Well you would think that the Royals, the A's and the Angels weren't even in the same league let alone the same division.

624
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:34,000
They will have played 65 games by the time they see the A's, 69 by the time they see the Angels.

625
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:47,000
And 69 games is only a dozen shy of being half a season.

626
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Up by a Ron Lucey, Adilard's first sibling around is now done and we're ready to play again.

627
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,000
Here's the stretch, two-two pitch.

628
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Ball outside and a ball count, three and two to Willie Wilson.

629
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:09,000
And Caldwell, very consistent at throwing strikes, three and two now with Willie.

630
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,000
He doesn't want to walk, he needs to get breath to the plate.

631
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:15,000
It's four to nothing Brewers, here's the stretch, now the pitch.

632
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000
There goes Potech, the pitch fouled off.

633
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Still a full count, three and two.

634
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:28,000
The Royals had Buddy Potech on the move.

635
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:36,000
Now Caldwell walks off the mound, goes to his mouth for a moment, steps right back up.

636
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:39,000
Cooper trying to hold Potech at first.

637
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
He's aboard with one out, we're in the top of the third.

638
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Here's the stretch, the pitch again, Potech not running and a high fly ball.

639
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:51,000
Well hit the left center, the Gorman-Thomas is over there, brings it down and they're two men gone.

640
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Willie hit it well but he's out.

641
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:00,000
Potech at first with two out now for George Brett.

642
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:08,000
George hit the ball hard but lying to right his first time up.

643
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:13,000
George a 330 hitter, he was but one for 10 against Milwaukee and Kansas City in the three game series.

644
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:19,000
So he's just one for 11 against the Brewers right now.

645
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:23,000
He undoubtedly feels his FBOs in a few hits.

646
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Left hander against left hander, Caldwell and Brett.

647
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:29,000
Potech elated first, the stretch and the pitch.

648
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Chopped foul by Brett, one strike to count.

649
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,000
After three, the Phillies leading Cincinnati three to one.

650
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,000
After five, Houston one, Monterey all one.

651
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,000
California leading Detroit five to three after four in Detroit.

652
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Toronto five, Oakland nothing after seven.

653
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Cleveland nine, Seattle two after five innings.

654
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,000
White Sox in front of Boston two to one after an inning.

655
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:02,000
The pitch here to Brett, breaking ball for a strike and George in the hole, O and two.

656
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:05,000
The Yankees and the Rangers are tied one one after four.

657
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:12,000
And Baltimore leading Minnesota one to nothing after three.

658
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,000
Caldwell with working room now.

659
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,000
O and two to count, here's the stretch and the pitch.

660
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:25,000
Way low on outside, the count's one ball two strikes to George.

661
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Since the first of May, George Brett has been one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball.

662
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,000
Oh, he just came to life.

663
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,000
One two pitch on the way.

664
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,000
Line and left field, it's a foul ball, just barely.

665
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:48,000
George had a twisting line drive over third that looked like it was going to drop in fair territory.

666
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,000
But at the last moment it twisted foul.

667
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,000
So it cost Brett extra bases, it might have cost the Royals a run.

668
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,000
Zero one and two and George.

669
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,000
A long walk back to the plate to try it again.

670
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:11,000
Amos Otis in the on deck circle, hopeful of hitting if Brett gets the board.

671
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:19,000
George talking to the play down by Bill Haller taking a look at where the ball landed.

672
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,000
Now Brett back in and Caldwell again looks to Charlie Moore for a sign.

673
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Potek will eat it first, here's the stretch, the one two pitch.

674
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:36,000
Ball outside and the count evens out two two.

675
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Caldwell in no hurry with a man on base, he has slowed down considerably.

676
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,000
Now he's ready, here's the stretch and the two two pitch to George Brett.

677
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:51,000
He breaks contact instead.

678
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Potek does not have a big lead at the moment.

679
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Dick to Brett, ground ball to second.

680
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Bobbiter has it on the big hop, goes to first and the inning's over.

681
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
Brett out second to first, the Royals unite in the top of the third, no runs or hits.

682
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:10,000
They leave a man and we go to the bottom of the third, it's still the Brewers four and the Royals coming.

683
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:15,000
Slow game so far at Milwaukee County Stadium, how about this score now?

684
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:19,000
We just got something in on the Western Union ticker in the AAA international leg.

685
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,000
The Rockets, the Red Wings and the Toledo Mudhands.

686
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:27,000
They played sevenings and we're trying to figure out on the computer the score.

687
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:33,000
Rochester had nine in the first, nine in the second, nine in the third, two in the fourth, nine in the fifth, nine in the sixth, nine in the seventh.

688
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:41,000
And the old Rochester Red Wing, our engineer, Chief Bartlett going wild in the control room, hold it Ralph, hold it, sit down.

689
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:48,000
Toledo nine in the first, nine in the second, nine in the third, two in the fourth, nine in the fifth, one in the sixth, nine in the seventh.

690
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:54,000
So it's Rochester 56, Toledo 48.

691
00:54:54,000 --> 00:55:00,000
So now Chief Bartlett is kind of a little concerned now about whether they can hold them off or not.

692
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:06,000
Chief Bartlett is the honorary mayor of the city of Rochester and he's winging it of course there in the control room for AFRTS tonight.

693
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:13,000
Let's check some more scores and we'll check back in that wild ball game, 56, 48 and see if I'm sure.

694
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,000
I'd type a traffic alert somewhere over either that, they've got the Little League pitchers in there.

695
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,000
California, Detroit, four and a half innings to play.

696
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,000
The Angels five, the Tigers three, New York and Texas after four and a half.

697
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:27,000
It's all tied up. The Yankees won, the Rangers won.

698
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:31,000
Baltimore, Minnesota, they set his home run in the fifth inning.

699
00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:38,000
The Orioles now lead Minnesota by a score of two to nothing.

700
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,000
Bottom of the third, four to nothing Milwaukee.

701
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,000
We owe you a station break. We'll get through it as quickly as we can here.

702
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,000
The first six to six to Lescano now back out of play and we'll take a right here.

703
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:54,000
We'll pause ten seconds for station identification on the Royal Baseball Network.

704
00:55:54,000 --> 00:56:01,000
This is the American Forces radio and television service.

705
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:05,000
The Bluehorns have Lescano, Yelp and Dick Davis scheduled to hear here in the bottom of the third.

706
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Pick low into the dirt one and one.

707
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:13,000
They have great ball footwork for four runs and six hits over the first two innings.

708
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Foot babbling to get things turned around.

709
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Close the one-one pitch.

710
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Breaking ball for a strike.

711
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000
Curve well thrown and it's one and two.

712
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,000
Lescano walked his first time up.

713
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,000
A three-twenty hitter with eight home runs.

714
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,000
Pitch to him.

715
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:35,000
That ball outside, two and two.

716
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
The outfield.

717
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,000
Sheet of torch left against the right-handed hitting Lescano.

718
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Off-speed pitch misses away in a full count three and two.

719
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:48,000
And Paul Spindorf continues to throw a lot of pitches.

720
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
He missed his last start because of the flu.

721
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
He's having problems with control here tonight.

722
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Three-two pitch.

723
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,000
High foul ball back and out of play.

724
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,000
Porter and George Scott chasing it, but it's well into the seat.

725
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:04,000
They've had an incident at Shea Stadium in New York.

726
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:09,000
Atlanta pitcher Phil Necro was hit in the head with a pitch ball, was forced to leave the game.

727
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:16,000
No action has been taken against Mets pitcher Craig Swan, but Atlanta manager Bobby Cox charged the mound and had to be restrained.

728
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,000
He was not ejected from the game.

729
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Mets are leading Atlanta 1-0 and Phil Necro hit in the head with a pitch and left that ball game.

730
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:32,000
Three-two pitch to Lescano is low ball four.

731
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,000
So Paul Spindorf makes his third walk.

732
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,000
He has walked the leadoff man here in the bottom of the third.

733
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Now here comes Robin Yandu to single his first time up.

734
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:48,000
You know Pabst's beer is going to leg all by itself because Pabst is rude naturally.

735
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
You can taste it.

736
00:57:51,000 --> 00:58:00,000
George Scott paying a visit to the mound to talk to Paul Spindorf.

737
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,000
So the Brewers up for it and up and get their leadoff man aboard here in the third.

738
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,000
Now Robin Yandu in the batter's box.

739
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Paul Spindorf picks up the sign from Porter.

740
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,000
Check Lescano at first.

741
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Here's the pitch.

742
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:15,000
High foul ball on the play down the right field side.

743
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:31,000
One strike to count.

744
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
Spindorf ready again.

745
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:45,000
Now the pitch. Yandu takes inside. The count evens out one-one.

746
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,000
Well the White Sox pounding Boston.

747
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,000
It's now seven to two in the bottom of the third.

748
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Jim Rice at his 13th home run.

749
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Well the Red Sox in the third with nobody on but Chicago scores five in a second.

750
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:59,000
There's a little tap back to the mound. Spindorf looks at second but he's only played a first.

751
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
In time on a close play they get Robin Yandu.

752
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:07,000
The play goes one-three. Lescano moves to second.

753
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,000
And now Dick Davis, the designated hitter, the number eight hitter in the lineup.

754
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,000
He's grounded his third his first time up.

755
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:18,000
They're in the bottom of the fifth in Detroit, California leading Detroit five to two.

756
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Bottom of the fifth in Texas. Yankees one, Texas one.

757
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Top of the fifth in Minnesota, the Orioles one. Gwyns nothing.

758
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Dick Davis the right-handed batter in. Spindorf set. Here's the pitch.

759
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,000
Strike on the inside corner. Davis giving ground.

760
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,000
But Spindorf picks up the inside corner. Four-nothing Brewers the bottom of the third.

761
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:49,000
Lescano at second with one out.

762
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Here's the pitch. All inside one-on-one.

763
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Dennis Leonard throwing in the bullpen again tonight.

764
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Now Rodriguez is up throwing. Dennis Leonard is pin throwing along with Paul Spindorf.

765
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,000
When Spindorf is pitching, Leonard gets up and throws in the bullpen.

766
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,000
He did that when Steve Busby pitched against Boston.

767
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
He's hopeful of getting a start in Oakland but he's not sure right now.

768
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:23,000
Two-and-one to count to Davis now. Porter puts down his time. Paul Spindorf is set.

769
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Here's the stretch and the pitch. High fly ball center field.

770
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Amos Nunes drifting in. 100 now makes the catch and there are two men gone.

771
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,000
So Davis out on a fly ball to center.

772
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:41,000
And now Clinton will work to the number nine hitter, Charlie Morris.

773
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,000
He was called out on strikes his first time up.

774
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:50,000
His average win of game began 362.

775
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Over and 15 RBI.

776
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:03,000
So Charlie Morris has been swinging a hot bat all year for Milwaukee.

777
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,000
Lescano deleted second. Spindorf off the stretch.

778
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,000
First pitch to Charlie Morris on the way.

779
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,000
High fly ball to deep left field.

780
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Back goes Willie Wilson to the corner. He leaps and it is time. All right.

781
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:31,000
And it's six to nothing, Milwaukee.

782
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,000
Charlie Morris hits his second home run of the year.

783
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Second of the ball game. And Whitey Herzog very reluctantly out of the dugout.

784
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:44,000
Points to the bullpen and he's going to bring in Eduardo Rodriguez.

785
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:50,000
So the last thing on earth that Whitey Herzog wanted tonight, a quick exit for his starting pitcher is happening.

786
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,000
Paul Spindorf battled but he never could find his stuff.

787
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:58,000
And he leaves in the bottom of the third down six to nothing. There are two out and nobody on.

788
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:05,000
The man ball monitor will hit Rodriguez from the bullpen with a score against Milwaukee 6 to Royal 7.

789
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Well, vacation or close to it in a game tonight at Montreal between the Astros and the Montreal Expos.

790
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000
Nickro Pitcher was hit. Bill Nickro was hit in the head with a pitch ball.

791
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Was forced to leave the game on the sixth inning. No action was taken against Mets pitcher Crick Swann.

792
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:30,000
Atlanta manager Bobby Cox charged the mound, had to be restrained but was not ejected.

793
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:36,000
Out of action, not much hitting but a little extracurricular activity out there at the Expos Stadium.

794
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:39,000
It's one to one after five innings play.

795
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:47,000
Latest National League figures show the first of the Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates hold all the top spots in the All-Star voting.

796
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Three of the leading infield both getters are Phillies Pete Rose at first, Larry Bowe at chart top and Mike Schmidt at third.

797
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Johnny Bench of the Reds has moved into the number one position among catchers.

798
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,000
11,000 votes ahead of Ted Simmons at the Cardinals.

799
01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:04,000
Bench has started every All-Star game since Van Baliding returned in 1970.

800
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Davey Lopes at the Los Angeles Dodgers has a 30,000 vote lead over Cincinnati's Joe Morgan at second base.

801
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:21,000
The three leading vote getters in the outfield are Philadelphia's Greg Lozinski, Pittsburgh's Dave Parker and Cincinnati's George Foster.

802
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:31,000
Mark Rial in Houston are in first place in the Eastern and Western divisions of the league but neither has a player higher than fifth in the voting.

803
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Eduardo Rodriguez out of the bullpen. It is six to nothing Milwaukee.

804
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:41,000
We're just in the bottom of the third and trying to give you an idea why.

805
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,000
Why the Erzogs fill the left in to give an idea why.

806
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:47,000
How well kind of shaped the Royal Fishing Staff is in.

807
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Here comes Ed Rodriguez. And just two nights ago, Eduardo Rodriguez was five and a third innings against the Red Sox.

808
01:03:54,000 --> 01:04:02,000
The two days before that he had pitched two and two-thirds innings against the Yankees and just two days before that he had gone three and a third.

809
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:13,000
So why the Erzogs, very reluctant to use him earlier tonight, is forced to do exactly that.

810
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:19,000
And I guess you'd have to say that the Royal bullpen is pretty well-candored right now and Paul Fudorf just couldn't give him very much here this evening.

811
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:26,000
He admits his last start with the flu and it's pretty obvious from the onset that he did not have his stuff tonight.

812
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:33,000
The Brewers got two in for seven hits, six runs, a three-run homer by Bando, a two-run homer by Charlie Moore.

813
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:40,000
And the Royals are buried in the third inning here and they're going to have to crawl out of the D.C. poll if they're going to do any good here tonight.

814
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:49,000
And then you really have to wonder where the answer is. It's obviously going to be from the starting pitchers getting a couple of good turns and giving the bullpen some rest.

815
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:55,000
And pitchers being like hitters go into slumps, but you have to hope they get it turned around pretty soon, huh?

816
01:04:55,000 --> 01:05:02,000
There's very little that Whitey can do. There's very little that we can say. It's just a dumb trice to battle your way out of it.

817
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
There are no answers. You just have to go out there and throw strikes so if your defense can get the job done for you.

818
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,000
If you can't, then you don't win. It's just that simple.

819
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
There is another item that hasn't been talked about very much, the Bears.

820
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,000
The Royals defense is next to last in the American League.

821
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,000
But you also have to stop and think that George Redfield injured.

822
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:23,000
Frank White was out for a number of games. Freddie Potek missed a lot of ball games.

823
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,000
Al Cowan missed a lot of ball games.

824
01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:31,000
So there was not really the pure Royals defense out there and that statistic could be a little bit misleading.

825
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:37,000
At any rate, Ed Rodriguez in a ball game now and he may be a bit weary.

826
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Again, just two days ago he went five in a third inning.

827
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,000
And you have to wonder how much he can give the Royals here tonight.

828
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,000
Monitor steps in. He has single-slice and scored twice.

829
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Golden two bases. Rodriguez to Monitor.

830
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Goes a right on by to reporter ball one.

831
01:05:53,000 --> 01:06:08,000
Eduardo, a former Brewer, working against his old teammate to pitch to ball Monitor.

832
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Ball misses to and oh.

833
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Pitch to nothing, Milwaukee, and we're just in the bottom of the third.

834
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:26,000
Here's the two-oh delivering. Ball three-oh. Rodriguez misses with his first three-pitch.

835
01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:32,000
Now to reporter walking them out. He wants to talk to Eduardo Rodriguez.

836
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,000
Whitey Herzog still with Fletcher.

837
01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:42,000
Marches about tomorrow with still lifting either Marty Patton or Steve Busby against Jim Clayton.

838
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:47,000
But as you know, Paul the groin muscle is in that tremendous outing against the Red Sox.

839
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:49,000
Three-oh pitch to Monitor here.

840
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Right call to three-and-one.

841
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:03,000
Here's the pitch. Mother fouls one back out of play. Full count three-and-two.

842
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Goodness, this game's been going for an hour and fifteen minutes and we're only in the bottom of the third.

843
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,000
How much offense the Brewers have had.

844
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,000
Three-two pitch foul back again.

845
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:28,000
Now the ticker is in Atlanta's direction. Atlanta manager Bobby Cox was ejected from the ball game

846
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:36,000
because of his confrontation with Fletcher's Craig Swan after one hit. Phil Negril in the head with a pitch.

847
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:40,000
Now Jeff Brewers is homer for the Braves and the seventh with Bill Bodie on and they're tied one-one.

848
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,000
Pitch to Monitor again. A slow rollover up long third. George Brett charging.

849
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,000
Rolls it out of his left leg. Can't get it. Monitor's safe.

850
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:55,000
Face-hit for Paul Monitor as a slow bouncer up third. George may not have been able to get him anyway,

851
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,000
but he had trouble getting the ball out of his glove and it cost him whatever chance he might have had.

852
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Johnny Vance is homer for the Reds in the fifth inning with a man on his fifth home run of the year.

853
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,000
Cincinnati six, Philadelphia three now in the fifth.

854
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:13,000
James Summers is homer for Detroit in the fifth with Bill Bodie on his third.

855
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:28,000
The Tigers have gone in front of the Angels six to five in Detroit.

856
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:46,000
Rodriguez running. First pitch in to Cecil Cooper misses Paul White. Eight hits now for Milwaukee.

857
01:08:46,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Eduardo Rodriguez off his stretch to pitch. Strike on the outside corner. One ball, one strike.

858
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:07,000
Cooper is single. He's down on a five-ball to right. A 295 hitter with 11 home runs.

859
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:16,000
So the first runner back. Milwaukee with a lot of bombers on his ball club.

860
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:19,000
They're tied with the Boston Reds off for the league leadership in home runs.

861
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Pitch outside. Misses two and one. The Brewers have hit 67 home runs this year.

862
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:33,000
The Loyals by contrast, 41.

863
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:37,000
Mom and her edging away at first very safely. The pitch swung and missed.

864
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Two balls, two strikes to Cecil Cooper.

865
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:53,000
Well, the early indications that the Loyals ran for a long night here at County Stadium.

866
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:58,000
Still a long, long way to go. They face the toughie and Mike Caldwell.

867
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Pitch grounded foul, pass first. But remember back just a few short days ago when Tommy John and the Yankees had the Loyals down five to nothing in the middle of a ball game.

868
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:17,000
The Loyals came back and won that one.

869
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:36,000
Two balls, two strikes. Cooper waiting. Rodriguez fits. Shots fouled again. The count remains 2-2.

870
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:53,000
Zero Porter through the signs and Rodriguez at the belt to pitch again. Fouled back out of play again.

871
01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:59,000
So now Cooper and Rodriguez in quite a battle here. Still two balls, two strikes.

872
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Again, Muller at first with two outs. Here's the pitch. Fouled it off again.

873
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:14,000
So Cooper won't give, neither will Ed Rodriguez.

874
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:25,000
Phil Honner, the plate umpire, chased that ball halfway to the Loyals dugout and gave it back to Rodriguez.

875
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:37,000
Now Ed's set to work again. Rodriguez at the belt. Again the 2-2 pitch. Again it's fouled back.

876
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:43,000
That ball came rolling up the screen and hit somewhere under our booth.

877
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:50,000
Something's going to have to give pretty soon.

878
01:11:50,000 --> 01:12:05,000
Now Cooper steps out of it. He might be getting arm-wary. He's had a lot of swings up there this time.

879
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Now the pitch. There's a drive at deep center field back to his Amazonas with room.

880
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:16,000
He's there, he's got it, and the inning is over. But the Brewers' short few more runs.

881
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Two hits, they left the match. And after three, the Milwaukee six, the Royals coming.

882
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:28,000
Game over in the American League at Toronto. Tom Underwood hurled a five-hitter to snap a personal 15-game losing streak.

883
01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Enrico Cardi doubled up one run and scored two others, the sparks at Toronto Blue Jays, to a 6-0 victory over the Oakland A's.

884
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:42,000
Underwood now 1-9, struck out one, walked one, while not allowing an Oakland runner past second base.

885
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:49,000
The left-hander's last victory came on August 8, 1978, against the Baltimore Orioles.

886
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Atlanta knuckleballer Phil Negros was removed from Friday night's game against the New York Mets after being hit in the head by Craig Swann fastball.

887
01:12:57,000 --> 01:13:07,000
The incident precipitated a bench and bullpen clearing altercation between home plate and the pitcher's mound when Atlanta manager Bobby Cox had words with Swann.

888
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Negros went to the ground after the pitch, but seconds later was up and walking around.

889
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:21,000
Pitcher Buddy Solomon was inserted as a pinch runner after a 10-minute delay until Maloflan took over on the mound for Negros in the sixth.

890
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:31,000
The pitch may have been in retaliation of a Negros brushback of Swann in the fifth when the New York pitcher squared the punt with one out and runners at first and second.

891
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:38,000
Negros' first pitch was a high fastball to hit Swann's bat as the Mets pitcher tried to avoid being hit by the pitch.

892
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:43,000
And Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Roy Howell is in place on the 15-day disabled list.

893
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:51,000
He cut his right-hand face running the other night when he tried to break up a double play in a game against the California Angels.

894
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:55,000
To the fourth we go, Milwaukee 6, the Royal Tuckings.

895
01:13:55,000 --> 01:14:01,000
It'll be Amos Oduz, Al Cowans, and George Scott for the Royals.

896
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Amos has been struggling at the plate lately. He has but seven hits in his last 43 at bat.

897
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:11,000
His average just dipped under 300. He was 298 when the game began.

898
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:16,000
Got it after the pitcher his first time up tonight. He hit Mike Caldwell extremely well last year.

899
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Oduz last season, 5 for 9 with a home run against Mike Caldwell.

900
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,000
First pitch, Amos. That's a pretty good cut, Amos. One strike to count.

901
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:32,000
Oduz knocks some dirt out of his spikes.

902
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:41,000
Caldwell looks to Moore for a sign. The left-hander whining and here comes the pitch.

903
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Strike called, 0-2 to Oduz.

904
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:49,000
Well, one of the problems what he has right now is they don't hand out magic wands anymore.

905
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:56,000
If so, he could just wave the magic wand and all the pitching woes and all the other woes would be cured.

906
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:01,000
Injured players would be well. It just doesn't work like that.

907
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:05,000
Pitch outside, 1-2.

908
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:09,000
So all they can do is hope that his pitchers can pitch their way out of it.

909
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:15,000
His hitters can produce, the defense plays, and Royals get it going again.

910
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Ground ball headed for left. Robin Yacht backhand, keeping the hole. Long throw. Oduz beat it. He's safe.

911
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:27,000
A base hit for Amos Oduz to start the Royals half of the fourth.

912
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,000
The one thing you have to look at, two things, really.

913
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,000
Number one, Royals are very much in a race. There's only four games left.

914
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Number two, after tonight there are 99 games left in this season.

915
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:47,000
The one thing they cannot do is hit the panic button.

916
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:52,000
This is the same pitching staff that pitched the Royals to three divisional titles in a row.

917
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Basically the same ball club that won them.

918
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:59,000
So it was a foolish to panic.

919
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Rick Dow Cowans now. All low.

920
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:08,000
About all they can do is be patient with themselves, ask their fans to be patient.

921
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Who knows, maybe when the Royals come off this road trip, maybe things will have begun to turn around.

922
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:19,000
Maybe not. The time will tell.

923
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:23,000
Stretched by Caldwell to pitch. High fly ball, shallow right.

924
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Out goes Bonner, the second baseman calling for it.

925
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:29,000
Back pedaling to make the catch.

926
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:32,000
Cowans pops the second.

927
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Otis holds his first. And here now George Scott who drove Gorman Thomas to the wall in center field his first time up.

928
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:44,000
The Texas Rangers have dropped a big inning on the Yankees.

929
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:49,000
Texas scores eight times in the fifth.

930
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:55,000
And the Rangers are now leading the Yankees nine to one after five.

931
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,000
It should be noted that George Steinbrenner joined the Yankees in Minnesota.

932
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:02,000
He is making that trip to Texas with the ball club.

933
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,000
They have not been doing it all well of late.

934
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,000
First the pitch to Scott.

935
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:10,000
Lined in the right field, it's going to drop for a base hit.

936
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:15,000
Otis holds his second and George Scott is the ball with his first hit in the Royal Uniform.

937
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:19,000
So the boomer's in a play tonight, he's hit it hard two times.

938
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:24,000
But noteworthy that George Steinbrenner is with the Yankees in Texas.

939
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:31,000
You have to wonder about the future.

940
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:35,000
And specifically the future of Bob Lemon to be quite frank about it as the manager of New York.

941
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,000
How long has it been since George had his name in the newspaper?

942
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:44,000
It's been a while so something might get there.

943
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Porter now to hit her.

944
01:17:46,000 --> 01:17:51,000
The Royals down six to nothing.

945
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:58,000
If somebody could yank one out of here they'd be back in the ball game.

946
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
Darrell ground it into a fourth out his first time up.

947
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,000
Two-ninet-six with seven home runs.

948
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,000
The numbers for Darrell Porter, the pitch.

949
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Ground ball, shot foul, pass first.

950
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,000
One strike to Porter.

951
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:16,000
The Royals now with four hits.

952
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:26,000
John Lawson in the on-deck circle will be next barring to double play.

953
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:32,000
Probably one thing the Royals were very glad to see right there was George Scott going the other way.

954
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:38,000
There are those who will tell you that the stroke he was using because of Fenway was what was keeping his average down.

955
01:18:38,000 --> 01:18:43,000
So conscious of that wall in Fenway with Scott that he was trying to pull the ball consistently.

956
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:46,000
That time he went the other way and hit a Wickenbein drive.

957
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:47,000
Ball on the strike now to Porter.

958
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:52,000
Call well with a sign from Charlie Moore.

959
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Left hander is ready.

960
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:54,000
Here's the one-one pitch.

961
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:59,000
Breaking ball inside, two-and-one.

962
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,000
Douglas Sinsley is homing for Baltimore in the fifth with nobody on his fifth.

963
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:09,000
The Orioles waiting Minnesota to do nothing.

964
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Toronto's sixth, Oakland nothing after eight.

965
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Cleveland continues to wail on Seattle.

966
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:19,000
Eleven to two in the bottom of the sixth in Cleveland.

967
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:26,000
The Indians lead the Mariners.

968
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,000
Now to stretch the two-one pitch to Darryl Porter.

969
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:33,000
Bouncer foul pass bird.

970
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:35,000
What's past ten seconds here?

971
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:51,000
Station identification on the Royals baseball network.

972
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,000
We're back to count two-two on Darryl Porter.

973
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,000
Otis at second, Scott at first with one out.

974
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:02,000
We're in the top of the fourth, Milwaukee leading six to nothing.

975
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:09,000
Mike Callwell fidgeting around on the mound.

976
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,000
Now getting set.

977
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,000
Here's the stretch, the two-two pitch on the way.

978
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Porter swings and lines one up the middle, base in center field.

979
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Otis around third, headed for home.

980
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,000
Scott stops at second.

981
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Porter holds at first with a single.

982
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:25,000
And Darryl is giving in his 49th run of the year.

983
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:27,000
And the Royals are on the scoreboard here at County Stadium.

984
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:31,000
It's now six to one, Milwaukee.

985
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:37,000
And John Wampen now headed for the plate.

986
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Wampen in now, Callwell breaking contact.

987
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:02,000
Three hits in the inning, the Royals now have five hits in the ballgame.

988
01:21:02,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Callwell again breaks contact.

989
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Here's the pitch.

990
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,000
Ball outside, ball one.

991
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Frank White next.

992
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:22,000
If Wampen can get a base in here, he could set up what could be a pretty beginning for the Royals.

993
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Duke set.

994
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Callwell ready, here's the pitch.

995
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:48,000
Swung and fouled off, and the count evens out a ball and a strike.

996
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,000
Wampen waiting while Callwell reads signs.

997
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:51,000
Here's the pitch.

998
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Ball inside and low, two and one.

999
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,000
The Royals trying to get their offense cranked up here.

1000
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Down by five runs at the moment.

1001
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Charlie Moore puts down a sign.

1002
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,000
Left hander Mike Callwell sets a 2-1 pitch.

1003
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Wampen swings at the ground ball to second, might be two.

1004
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,000
Second base one, back to first, double.

1005
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Wild throw, here comes Shaka score, Wampen headed for second base to throw in into Milwaukee dugout.

1006
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:25,000
And it's now a six to two ballgame.

1007
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,000
I said ground ball to second, I meant ground ball to third.

1008
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:36,000
Sal Bando came up with it, made the throw to second, the Mothers relay went on into the Milwaukee dugout.

1009
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:40,000
So the play goes five-four.

1010
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:42,000
And error four, Wampen at second base now.

1011
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:49,000
Another run home, it's now a six to two ballgame, and here's Frank White.

1012
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:54,000
Scott scores, zero border out on the fourth out.

1013
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:58,000
John Watson does not get an RBI on the play.

1014
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,000
And now here's Frank.

1015
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:05,000
White grounded to third his first time up, and if he hit here it would cut the Brewer lead in half.

1016
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:08,000
Two runs home in the inning, the pitch.

1017
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,000
Line down the left field, line, but it's hooking and foul.

1018
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Well White hit it hard, but foul.

1019
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:19,000
That was with extra bases.

1020
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:25,000
And all of a sudden the Royal Bats starting to make some noise.

1021
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:47,000
Now he gets a board, Fred Pockek will hit the inning.

1022
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:51,000
White waiting, Caldwell reading the signs again.

1023
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Now the stretch, here's the pitch.

1024
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:55,000
Ground ball to second base.

1025
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,000
Bobbiter has it, flips to first and the inning's over.

1026
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:00,000
So White out second to first within the inning.

1027
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:05,000
Royal score two, three hits, an error, and a man left.

1028
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:10,000
And we go now to the bottom of the fourth, Milwaukee sixth, and the Royal two.

1029
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:14,000
We have a correction now on the ticker on that game that we mentioned a while ago.

1030
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:21,000
And the triple A Rochester and Toledo, they score 56 to 48 after seven, the Red Wings.

1031
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:28,000
And the final score, Toledo defeated Rochester by a score of six to four.

1032
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:33,000
Late finishing Larry Nelson equaled the best round of the tournament today with a three under par 68

1033
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:37,000
to share the second round lead with Tom Perger at the U.S. Open Golf Championship.

1034
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:41,000
But Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus played themselves out of contention.

1035
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:45,000
Nelson moved into the lead by himself with a birdie in the 16th hole,

1036
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:51,000
but he bogeyed number 17 to fall back into a tie with Perger at three under par 139.

1037
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,000
Perger started early and shot a fine 69.

1038
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:56,000
Though he claimed he didn't deserve his position,

1039
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:00,000
his name stood alone on the leaderboard for some six hours before Nelson caught him.

1040
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:06,000
Former Open champ Hale Irwin matched Nelson's round at 68 to move into third place at 142,

1041
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:12,000
making himself the only other player in the field of 153 to match par for 36 holes.

1042
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Bill Rogers is one more stroke back at 143 following a 72.

1043
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Watson opened his round with a triple bogey and never did recover.

1044
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:27,000
He added a double bogey and five bogeys to wind up with a six over par 77 and a two round score of 152.

1045
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:32,000
Nicklaus didn't fare any better with four bogeys and a double bogey on his first seven holes.

1046
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:37,000
The Golden Bear settled for 77. That left him at 151.

1047
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:42,000
The final round of the fourth county stadium Milwaukee. The Brewers lead the Royals 6-2.

1048
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:45,000
It'll be Sal Bando, Gorman Thomas, and Ben Ogilvie.

1049
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:48,000
The heart of the order is the number three, four, and five hitters.

1050
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:55,000
Four Milwaukee. Ed Rodriguez back to the mound.

1051
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:59,000
Milwaukee six runs, eight hits. The Royals two runs on five hits.

1052
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:03,000
Rodriguez to Bando, this is high, ball one.

1053
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:08,000
Bando opened and his third gave up a single to Paul Molliter, then got Cecil Cooper on a fly ball to end the inning.

1054
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:10,000
And he's back now for round four.

1055
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:15,000
The line, the pitch to Sal Bando on the way. Swung and missed. County wins out one-one.

1056
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Bando hit a three-run homer in the first and then Watson a second.

1057
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:26,000
He has a big blow in the ball game so far. Charlie Mora, two-run homer for Milwaukee.

1058
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:40,000
From Rodriguez, now two balls and a strike.

1059
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:51,000
Here's the two-one pitch. Strike on the inside corner. The county wins out two-two.

1060
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Rodriguez trying to retire the leadoff man here in the bottom of the fourth. The pitch.

1061
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:04,000
Shifts missed outside of ball count three and two. Bando had a notion but checked his swing.

1062
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Sal's average winner night began, two-twenty-eight.

1063
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Ground ball hit it for left, eight hits.

1064
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:14,000
Sal Bando aboard with a single.

1065
01:27:14,000 --> 01:27:22,000
The Brewer hit for eight continues. Their ninth base hit tonight.

1066
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:27,000
Now in three of the four things we played, the Brewers have had their leadoff man aboard and they've been catching him.

1067
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Here's Torm and Thomas. He's grounded out in single driven inner run.

1068
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:45,000
Thomas, the center fielder hitting in the number four spot in the lineup tonight.

1069
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:46,000
A strike in outside six-six after six-hitting. Strike on the outside corner. One strike to Gorman Thomas.

1070
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:51,000
Ed Rodriguez has been used a lot lately. Fishing was very little there.

1071
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,000
He's trying to hold things together for the Royals.

1072
01:28:54,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Swing and a miss by Thomas, two strikes to count.

1073
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:07,000
He would be very doubtful at this point that Ed Rodriguez could finish the ballgame.

1074
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:13,000
Having gone five and a third just two days ago.

1075
01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:18,000
His stance right now, just keep the Royals in the middle part of the ballgame. See what the offense can produce.

1076
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:30,000
The pitch by Rodriguez. High cowering fly to left. Willie Wilson coming in, still moving in under it. Now makes the catch and there's one away.

1077
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:35,000
Thomas out on the fly ball to the left. Bando holds it first. He's there with one out of it.

1078
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Now Ben Ogilvy who's been out on the fly ball deep to center and grounded his second.

1079
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:51,000
Thomas here tonight. Robert and Leanne Stavonic from Atchison, Canada who are on a bicycling trip to Canada.

1080
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:56,000
Want to say hello to their friends back in Atchison. They have yet to figure out if they're on a bicycle trip to Canada.

1081
01:29:56,000 --> 01:30:01,000
How they have to begin Milwaukee, Wisconsin tonight.

1082
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:09,000
Unless they have moved Milwaukee, Wisconsin to the heartland of Canada somehow. Maybe they're on their way up there.

1083
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Faisal Cooper takes one and misses. Ball one.

1084
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:31,000
The pitch again to Faisal Cooper misses outside.

1085
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:36,000
Two balls, no strikes.

1086
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,000
The final, Serrano's sixth, Oakland nothing.

1087
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:46,000
Tom Underwood got his first run of the year. He broke the losing streak. He's now one to nine. Hamilton the loser, two and one.

1088
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,000
Bobby Bader got the game-winning RBI.

1089
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:54,000
Dan Landrow is over for the twins in the sixth with nobody on his sixth home run of the year.

1090
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:58,000
It's Baltimore two, Minnesota one now.

1091
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:01,000
Ball four to Faisal Cooper.

1092
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:07,000
A letter from Ogilvie. Ogilvie draws the base on balls. The first ball is given by Rod Rekers.

1093
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:10,000
So now runners at first and second just one out.

1094
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:16,000
The Brewers who have scored in every inning threaten to score again.

1095
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:20,000
They got three on Sal Bando's home run in the first. They scored one in the second.

1096
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,000
Then two on Charlie Morse's home run in the third.

1097
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:31,000
And now runners at first and second just one out and here's Faisal Oskano who has lost quite tonight.

1098
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:34,000
Oskano with three-twenty hitters.

1099
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Rod Rekers ready to pitch.

1100
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:39,000
Ball one.

1101
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:49,000
And Ed Rod Rekers having trouble locating home plate now.

1102
01:31:49,000 --> 01:32:03,000
Rod Rekers pitch. Right call and it's out evens out one-one.

1103
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:07,000
Pitch Oskano out of the batter's box a moment, steps back in.

1104
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Oskano with a sign to pitch. Swing and a miss. Oskano after the breaking ball at one and two.

1105
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:25,000
Rod Rekers trying to keep the Royals afloat here. They're down six-two in the bottom of the fourth.

1106
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:28,000
And the Brewers threatening again here.

1107
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Here's the one-two pitch.

1108
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:33,000
Line in the right field. It's going to fall for a base hit.

1109
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:38,000
Down third is going to score. Al Callen bobbles the ball and now overleaves a third base.

1110
01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:46,000
Oskano holds it first and it's seven to two in the long run.

1111
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:51,000
Oskano a little ruber to the right.

1112
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:57,000
He drives in his thirty-ninth run of the year. No air is charged out. Callen's going to play.

1113
01:32:57,000 --> 01:33:00,000
Cooper was headed for third so now runners at first and third.

1114
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:04,000
And the Brewers keep alive that string of having scored in every inning.

1115
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:11,000
Now Robin Yalow is singled and grounded after the pitcher.

1116
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:35,000
This game is an hour and forty minutes old and we are only in the bottom of the fourth.

1117
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:39,000
It is seven to two Brewers. They have ten hits. The Royals have five.

1118
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Still just one half in the bottom of the fourth. The pitch.

1119
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:48,000
This is inside. Ball one.

1120
01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:56,000
Steven Goehring now throwing in the Royal Ball pen.

1121
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:59,000
Oder puts down a sign.

1122
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,000
Here's the pitch.

1123
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:09,000
Strike on the inside corner. The count evens out one-one.

1124
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:16,000
Nick Davis in the on deck circle.

1125
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Here's the one-one pitch. Inside gets away from Porter. The runners can't advance.

1126
01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:38,000
Now two balls and a strike.

1127
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:42,000
Rodriguez is understandable.

1128
01:34:42,000 --> 01:34:45,000
Now beginning to struggle.

1129
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:54,000
Now the two-one pitch. Ball inside. Three and one.

1130
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:59,000
Eduardo having problems with his control.

1131
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:06,000
Two singles and a walk can produce one run.

1132
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:11,000
Now three balls and a strike for Robin Yalow. The danger is thinner. The pitch.

1133
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:17,000
Long and missed. Full count three and two.

1134
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:21,000
And we'll see if the Brewers have a mind to send Sisco Vascano.

1135
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Also be a third Vascano at first with one out.

1136
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:32,000
Here's the three-two pitch. The runner is going. It's ball four inside. The bases will notice.

1137
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:46,000
Now Galen Sisco headed for the mound to talk to his pitcher.

1138
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:51,000
Well you talk about a fellow that's not enjoying life at all these days.

1139
01:35:51,000 --> 01:36:00,000
Along with Whitey Herzog, the left-hander, and the left-hander, Galen Sisco is suffering as much as anyone.

1140
01:36:00,000 --> 01:36:04,000
He's like a father to the Royal Fishing staff.

1141
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:08,000
Well when they hurt, he hurts. And right now they're hurting, so he's hurting too.

1142
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:10,000
Bases loaded, one out.

1143
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Nick Davis, the header, he's grounded out. He's been out on a fly ball.

1144
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:26,000
Brewers in front, seven and two.

1145
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:31,000
They were in front six and nothing. The Royals got two of them back, but now one more is short. Here's the pitch.

1146
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Foul on a play, one strike.

1147
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:50,000
The Royals have hit Nick Davis extremely well. He's one for fourteen against Royal Fishing this year.

1148
01:36:50,000 --> 01:37:02,000
One ball, one strike to Nick Davis now as Rodriguez misses.

1149
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Rodriguez pitch, high fly ball, deep left field, back goes Woolley, grand slam, long run.

1150
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:21,000
It is 11-0-1.

1151
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:57,000
That's Galen Moore in Rodriguez. This is the first pitch, ball one.

1152
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Full run number five for Dick Davis.

1153
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Boy, are you talking about getting whacked.

1154
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,000
Royal Fishing has been doing exactly that the last few ball games.

1155
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,000
Strike called and it's one and one.

1156
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,000
The Royals came up three home runs, one of them a grand slam.

1157
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,000
The same thing here tonight.

1158
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
The pitch, ground ball up the middle.

1159
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:25,000
Knocked down by Frank White. Plotek picked it up, throws and they got him.

1160
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:29,000
Oh, a tremendous play by the middle defense of the Royals.

1161
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
Frank White got a glove on the ball, de-fluttered it toward the shortstop Fred Plotek.

1162
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Plotek was moving to second, toward second.

1163
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:41,000
And he came up with it and throws out Tony Moore.

1164
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:48,000
It'll be four and six three the way the play is scored.

1165
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,000
So now two men out.

1166
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:55,000
And here's Paul Modu, who is already three for three in this game.

1167
01:38:55,000 --> 01:38:57,000
We're only in the fourth inning.

1168
01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:09,000
Pitch to him, lined right field. Out goes Frank White, Modu is four for four.

1169
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:20,000
A dozen hits now for Milwaukee. They have a two run homer, a three run homer, a grand slam home run.

1170
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:31,000
They're still batting in the fourth and they already have 11 runs on 12 hits.

1171
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:39,000
The Brewers have had 17 base runners in four innings.

1172
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Good foul back.

1173
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:58,000
Beasel, Cooper, the hitter, the pitch.

1174
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:09,000
Ball high, one and one. Modu is four for four, Cooper tonight one for three.

1175
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:12,000
Eleven to two, Milwaukee in the bottom of the fourth.

1176
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Here's the pitch.

1177
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:31,000
Ball outside, two and one.

1178
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:39,000
Rodriguez-Buddy delivers the can and gets a strike on the outside corner. The count evens out to two.

1179
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:43,000
Cleveland beats Seattle 13 to three tonight.

1180
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:50,000
The Mets have gone in front of Atlanta two to one. Atlanta batting the top of the ninth in New York.

1181
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:55,000
Swing and a foul tipped held by Porter and the inning is over as Cooper strikes out.

1182
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,000
But the Brewers get five runs.

1183
01:40:58,000 --> 01:41:08,000
There were four hits, a man left. After the fourth, Milwaukee 11 to Royals two.

1184
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:14,000
Texas scoreboard, lots of games going. And the games on the West Coast about to start.

1185
01:41:14,000 --> 01:41:21,000
One is already underway. That's Chicago and San Diego, Pittsburgh and Los Angeles, and St. Louis and San Francisco up on the set.

1186
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:27,000
Nationally, games underway after eight. Houston won, Montreal won, Atlanta and New York after eight.

1187
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:32,000
The Mets lead the Braves two to one. Cincinnati after, Cincinnati after Philadelphia after seven.

1188
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Six facilities, three. Bench home run is fifth of the year for the Reds and the Fives with one on.

1189
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:44,000
American League scoreboard, final. Toronto beat Oakland six nothing. We mentioned that a while ago.

1190
01:41:44,000 --> 01:41:49,000
Six twelve zero for the Blue Jays, oh five two for the A's. Underwood the winner, his first win of the year.

1191
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:56,000
He's one to nine. Hamilton the loser two and one attendance at Toronto, Canada. 13,124.

1192
01:41:56,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Cleveland is just beating Seattle 13 to three. Indians line score 13, 19, one. Mariners three, eight and two.

1193
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:06,000
Jones a home run for Seattle in the fourth, none on his fourteenth of the year.

1194
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:10,000
California, Detroit after six and a half. The Angels have a score to run the top of the seventh.

1195
01:42:10,000 --> 01:42:14,000
They lead Sparky Anderson Tigers seven to six. Loss of homers in the game.

1196
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:18,000
Gritch has two for the Angels, his fourteenth and fifteenth of the year.

1197
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:23,000
Thompson Tigers fifth, one on his sixth of the year. Summer Detroit fifth, nobody on his third.

1198
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:27,000
And Lansford just hit one for California in the seventh, nobody on his seventh of the year.

1199
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Five and a half innings to play, Chicago seven, Boston two. After six, Baltimore leads Minnesota two to one.

1200
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:39,000
And after six and a half, Texas nine, New York one. Eight runs for the Rangers against the Yankees.

1201
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:41,000
Home bet, good bye Louis Tion.

1202
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:46,000
We have played four at County Stadium, Milwaukee eleven, the Royals two. Buddy Potec will beat it off.

1203
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:52,000
And Peeva Tock has hit it for the Royals both end and we may see something here before this night's over that we haven't seen before.

1204
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,000
Tell you about the ball game and perhaps a bit more about that who's in it.

1205
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:02,000
Hi Fred. Buddy Potec leading off. Fred has a single in the game. He's one out of one.

1206
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:15,000
Peeva Tock, unbeknownst to most, has one of, and I'm serious about this, one of the very fine knuckleballs I have ever seen a baseball player throw on the sideline.

1207
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:19,000
Mike Caldwell's pitch to Potec is inside bowl one.

1208
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:24,000
A lot of players more or less play around on the sideline.

1209
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:28,000
You know all, all everyday players want to be pitchers.

1210
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:37,000
Outside all pitchers want to be everyday players. Just like all actors and singers want to be ball players. All ball players would like to be singers and actors.

1211
01:43:37,000 --> 01:43:43,000
Well Peeva Tock is going to the bullpen and if need be I think we'll see him pitch.

1212
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:48,000
And he might show us some knuckleball because I've seen Bruce Dowd-Canton throw on the side.

1213
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:53,000
I've stood alongside one. Wilbur Wood watched his knuckleball.

1214
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:58,000
And Pete, if he could get it in the strike zone, it would be the equal to Bruce Dowd-Canton.

1215
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:02,000
Fly ball right field. Potec retired, one away.

1216
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:09,000
Well Freddy went on it too. Here's Willie Wilson. Willie fly to left in the first, fly to center in the third. 0 for 2.

1217
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:15,000
If he went out and said, how many is not throwing right now, there would be one little hit. He would have to be designated to pitch.

1218
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:20,000
And he probably has been. I don't know that he hasn't been but there is that one little technicality.

1219
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:27,000
Well just this year Wayne Nordagen has pitched for the Chicago White Sox and they got into a pinch.

1220
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Willie takes the strike from Mike Caldwell, 0 and 1.

1221
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:38,000
Remember last year when Baltimore manager Earl Weaver used catcher Elrod Hendricks.

1222
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:45,000
There's a swing and a miss. He used him in Toronto.

1223
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:51,000
No balls, two strikes on Willie Wilson. Final score from Shays Stadium, New York.

1224
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:58,000
The New Yorker match 2, the Atlanta Braves won. A rather stormy game which saw manager Bobby Cox eject a bouncing ball.

1225
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:03,000
Molacher to his left, can't get it. Wilson singles into right with one out.

1226
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:08,000
And the batter, George Brady, 11 to 2 Milwaukee.

1227
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:13,000
Was it last year that Jeff Newman of the A's pitched against the Royals?

1228
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:17,000
Yes, last year Newman, a catcher did.

1229
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Elrod Hendricks we mentioned did some pitching. He was a catcher.

1230
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,000
Nordagen who pitched, a catcher.

1231
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:30,000
The piece of southpaw in the first basement outfielder.

1232
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:34,000
I don't think we're likely to see Darryl Porter throwing the old slab tonight.

1233
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:45,000
Well, I doubt it. Mike Caldwell delivers and George a pretty good catch and he fouled it back to the base of the screen, 0 and 1.

1234
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:52,000
We talk about the ball players, the everyday players, the position players, wanting to pitch and every once in a while fooling around in the mound.

1235
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:58,000
If you're out at the ballpark early some night, take a look at George Brad. He'll do imitations of pitchers.

1236
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:05,000
I think he did the best Joe Horner I've ever seen and only Joe Horner, he did better than Joe Horner.

1237
01:46:05,000 --> 01:46:08,000
As a matter of fact, that funny little motion that Joe used to have.

1238
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,000
We might even see George out there but I doubt it.

1239
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Line shot, base hit center field. Berman Thomas plays it and went up.

1240
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:20,000
So back to back singles by Wilson and Brett.

1241
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,000
And here's Amos Oden.

1242
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:31,000
And I say we're not likely to see Brett out there in the mound. It's the simple fact that the batter is only 60 feet, 6 inches away from the pitcher.

1243
01:46:31,000 --> 01:46:37,000
And George is much more valuable to third base and certainly more valuable in the batter's box.

1244
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:43,000
That base hit by George is 87th hit of the year.

1245
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:53,000
In the Atlanta Mets game, New York to win a two runs eight hit, Atlanta to lose one run just two hits.

1246
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Two on one out, Amos Oden is the plate, Mike Caldwell's pitch is Nick Powell, the mcdonnell in one.

1247
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:03,000
Let me check one thing. I said he had to be designated.

1248
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:12,000
Team Vogelar came in and told me that and I told him I'd never heard of it. Now he came back and said he's not sure that he has to be.

1249
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:16,000
I don't know why you would have to be.

1250
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:20,000
Now the signal given, here's the stretch by Mike Caldwell.

1251
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:28,000
Pitch to Otis is drilled into left field for a base hit. Willie Wilson makes the turn at third and he'll score. Brett stops at second.

1252
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:35,000
That makes it 11 to 3 Milwaukee. Otis has his 35th RBI, his second hit of the ballgame.

1253
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:48,000
On the batter is Al Collins. Al, single in the second, pops the second in the fourth.

1254
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:59,000
A number of years ago it wasn't uncommon to have a manager have his pitcher play first base or third base for a hitter.

1255
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:09,000
And perhaps have another man come in to pitch and then take the man off first base and put him back on the mound.

1256
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:14,000
I have never seen that done in the big leagues. It has been done in the big leagues.

1257
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Collins takes a little bit high, one ball and no strikes.

1258
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:30,000
11 to 3 Milwaukee, runners at first and second. Mike Caldwell then quests for his seventh win.

1259
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:37,000
His biggest problem right now is just paying attention. He leads 11 to 3, the Brewers have a dozen hits.

1260
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:45,000
One ball, one strike and Collins. Al has hit safely in six straight games.

1261
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:56,000
The pitch is made and Al is swinging the miss, one and two. The Brewers, three in the first, one in the second, two in the third and five in the fourth.

1262
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:05,000
The Royals, two in the fourth, one in the fifth. Brett at second, Otis at first, one out.

1263
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:23,000
Caldwell off the stretch, the one, two pitch to Al. Collins is inside, two balls and two strikes.

1264
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:28,000
Make no given, here's the pitch to Al. High five, all left center field.

1265
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:36,000
Van Ozel, the left fielder there to make the catch. That's two out and here is George Scott.

1266
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:46,000
High to deep center in the second, single to the score in the fourth.

1267
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:58,000
Al Mopanela, over for the Yankees in the eighth inning with the man on his seventh. The Texas way out in front of New York, nine to three. The Yankees playing down in Arlington.

1268
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:09,000
Cincinnati leading the Phillies by the score of six to three. They're in the ninth inning in Philadelphia.

1269
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:18,000
The bouncing ball to the hole is short backhanded by Yad to second base. Out! And the third is called out at second base by the Umpire, Ken Kiser.

1270
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:24,000
And Otis arguing, he thought that he'd beaten the thrall from Yad who made a tremendous play in the hole and short.

1271
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:29,000
Whitey Herzog is going out.

1272
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:34,000
So the inning is over, the Royals on three hits gonna run.

1273
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:39,000
We go to the bottom of the fifth, Milwaukee 11 and the Royals three.

1274
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,000
This is the tale of the game just over at Montreal.

1275
01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,000
Hart Howell, ninth inning double drove home the winning run.

1276
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:52,000
And the John Quinn Adjidar hurled a five hitter as the Houston Astros scored a two to one victory over the Montreal Expo.

1277
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:55,000
Underhard the winner as Houston wins by one.

1278
01:50:55,000 --> 01:51:00,000
With one out of the ninth inning, the loser Elias Sosa, three and four now, Walk Dennis Walling.

1279
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:06,000
Howell then followed with a run scoring double to right center. Adjidar, six and four recorded a six complete game.

1280
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:08,000
Walking two and striking out two.

1281
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:12,000
At Chase Stadium, Lea Mazzelli snapped the one one time with an eighth inning single.

1282
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:19,000
And Craig Swan fired a two hitter to leave the New York Mets to a two to one victory over the Atlanta Braves.

1283
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:26,000
Taveras open the eighth inning with a triple to left center off losing pitcher and reliever Joe McLaughlin now 0-1.

1284
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:30,000
The fire became on and Mazzelli drove a New York first run with a first inning single,

1285
01:51:30,000 --> 01:51:34,000
stroked the ground ball into right field, just towards Taveras.

1286
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:39,000
Swan, the losing pitcher is seven and four.

1287
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:42,000
A correction on that Swan, the winning pitcher now of course is seven and four.

1288
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:46,000
The American League, Rick Waits and David Clyde combined on an eight hitter.

1289
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:51,000
Bobby Barnes belted his eighth homer of the year to spark a 19 hit attack,

1290
01:51:51,000 --> 01:51:57,000
leaving the Cleveland Indians their fourth straight victory, a 13 to three triumph over the Seattle Mariners.

1291
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:03,000
Yankee still losing big to Texas now after seven, nine to one, but the top of the eighth.

1292
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:07,000
Lou Panella hit a home run for New York, his seventh of the year.

1293
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,000
It came in the eighth with a man on base.

1294
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:11,000
Let's pause now for station identification.

1295
01:52:11,000 --> 01:52:14,000
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

1296
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:27,000
...

1297
01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Denny Matthews along with Fred White and producer engineer Ed Shepard.

1298
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:37,000
We are at County Stadium Milwaukee and the Brillers are leading 11 to 3, bottom of the fifth inning.

1299
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:42,000
A couple of defensive changes for the Royals, Jamie Clerk is now catching.

1300
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,000
Charlie Terrell has gone to third replacing Brett.

1301
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:49,000
The Brett and Porter out, Terrell and Clerk into the lineup.

1302
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,000
The batter is Sal Bando.

1303
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:56,000
Sal has lost single and homer.

1304
01:52:56,000 --> 01:53:02,000
It was Sal who fired the opening salvo in the first inning with a three run home run.

1305
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:09,000
Charlie Moore hit a two run homer in the third and then Dick Davis with the bases loaded in the fourth.

1306
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:13,000
11 runs, a dozen hits for the Brewers.

1307
01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:17,000
Bando swings and pops it up into shallow right, out goes Frank White.

1308
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:20,000
Under the ball makes the catch and there's one away.

1309
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:24,000
Bando retired for the first time tonight.

1310
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,000
Up comes Glomyn Thomas. He's one out of three.

1311
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:31,000
His second inning single, he has an RBI and 39 for the year.

1312
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:36,000
A final score into Montreal where the National League division leaders,

1313
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:44,000
the Eastern division leading Montreal Expos, have lost to the Western division leading Houston Expos,

1314
01:53:44,000 --> 01:53:47,000
I mean Expos, two to one.

1315
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:50,000
Ground ball, Patek, it's short, has got it.

1316
01:53:50,000 --> 01:53:55,000
Fires to first to throw off wide and safe.

1317
01:53:55,000 --> 01:54:05,000
Good shot by the apply the tag, but Glomyn Thomas, making the slide, was able to avoid being tagged.

1318
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:12,000
Patek will draw a throwing error.

1319
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:19,000
So the Astros two, the Expos one, Montreal started the day leading the National League East by one over St. Louis.

1320
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:24,000
Houston started the day leading Cincinnati by a game and a half.

1321
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:30,000
Houston two runs five hits, Montreal one run five hits.

1322
01:54:30,000 --> 01:54:39,000
The batter, Ben Ogilvie, fly to deep center, bounce to second base, walk and score.

1323
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:41,000
Fly ball, right field.

1324
01:54:41,000 --> 01:54:44,000
Al Collins there, makes the gap.

1325
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:49,000
Ogilvie flies to right.

1326
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:57,000
The batter, Sixth Solos Cano, he has walked twice, single one, two runs scored, one RBI.

1327
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:03,000
Cleveland 13, Seattle 3, a final, Rick Waite wins his ninth, he's nine and four.

1328
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:10,000
Jones the log, he's one and seven.

1329
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:17,000
Oh they had an excellent crowd in Cleveland tonight, 32,627.

1330
01:55:17,000 --> 01:55:20,000
The Indians now go one game over 500.

1331
01:55:20,000 --> 01:55:24,000
Jeff Thorblurg has done a remarkable job with that game in the last month and a half.

1332
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:32,000
Solos Cano takes Rodriguez pitch outside, ball one.

1333
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:37,000
Thorblurg was under severe fire in April.

1334
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:40,000
He has certainly turned that Cleveland team around.

1335
01:55:40,000 --> 01:55:44,000
Two balls, no strikes on Sixth Solos Cano.

1336
01:55:44,000 --> 01:55:49,000
The Indians made a trade, they get Mike Hargrove from San Diego in exchange for Paul Dade.

1337
01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:59,000
That was yesterday, ball three is inside.

1338
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:06,000
The Milwaukee Brewers have had 18 base runners, there's a strike three and one.

1339
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:16,000
And we are only in the bottom of the fifth inning, 11 to three Brewers.

1340
01:56:16,000 --> 01:56:20,000
Ed Rodriguez pitches, lined up the middle base fifth.

1341
01:56:20,000 --> 01:56:26,000
Solos Cano singles to center, Norman Thomas on his way to third.

1342
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:33,000
19 base runners.

1343
01:56:33,000 --> 01:56:42,000
Here is Robin Young, singles in the first, walks in the fourth, bounce back to the pitcher in the third.

1344
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:57,000
He's at first and third.

1345
01:56:57,000 --> 01:57:01,000
Too hot in the bottom of the fifth, Rodriguez pitches and a five-ball left field.

1346
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:04,000
Wilson to his left and back under the ball now.

1347
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:07,000
And Willie sucks it away to retire the side.

1348
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:11,000
No runs, one hit, one error, two left, they have stranded eight.

1349
01:57:11,000 --> 01:57:16,000
Five in Milwaukee in this floor, the Brewers 11, the Royals three.

1350
01:57:16,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Let's check some golf from Rochester, New York.

1351
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:27,000
Jane Blaylock has a one-stroke lead over Pat Bradley after two rounds of an LPGA golf tournament in the Kodak City.

1352
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:35,000
Blaylock shot a three on the par 70 for a 36-hole total of seven on the par 139 in the $100,000 event.

1353
01:57:35,000 --> 01:57:41,000
It was Bradley who stole the show today, she shot a fizzling second round 67 which included two Eagles.

1354
01:57:41,000 --> 01:57:46,000
That's the first time in over a year the player on the LPGA Tour has had two Eagles in one round.

1355
01:57:46,000 --> 01:57:52,000
She also set records for nine and 18-holes in the four-year-old tournament with a round of 31-36.

1356
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:58,000
Sally Vittle, who is opening round 69, tied her with Blaylock for the lead, then he stopped with a 72.

1357
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:03,000
She's in sole possession of third place at five under par 141.

1358
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:07,000
Second year pro Barbara Moxness is one shot back in fourth.

1359
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:14,000
In the baseball note, Brian Bloomberg has filed a grievance over his outright release by the Chicago White Sox early this season.

1360
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:18,000
The grievance was filed through the Major League Players Association and Bloomberg's attorney.

1361
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Bloomberg is still collecting on a four-year, $400,000 no-cut contract he signed in 1977

1362
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:33,000
but wants to be put back on the White Sox roster in order to qualify for larger pension benefits.

1363
01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:41,000
Bloomberg has not been signed by any other club and as a result his pension time stopped on April 3rd.

1364
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:47,000
Baseball score in the American League after seven, the Orioles four and the Twins three.

1365
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:53,000
We got it at sixth inning, 11-3 in favor of Milwaukee. Jerry Terrell will lead off.

1366
01:58:53,000 --> 01:59:08,000
He is sitting in Gerald Porter's spot. Jamie Quirk will bat in George Brett's place. That is second in the order.

1367
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:18,000
Jerry Terrell, the right-hand batter. Jerry hitting 364 for the year. He's four out of 11.

1368
01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:23,000
Two of his four hits have been doubled. Bouncing ball deep short. Yownt has a long throw to make.

1369
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:35,000
Terrell leads the throw. It will be an infield single.

1370
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:43,000
So the Orioles have seven hits in the last two innings plus one hitter.

1371
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:52,000
John Wathen steps in. Duke is 0 for 2. Twice he has bounced into fours out.

1372
01:59:52,000 --> 02:00:12,000
Eleven runs on 13 hits for the home-standing Brewers. Three runs, nine hits for the Orioles.

1373
02:00:12,000 --> 02:00:16,000
He's in the right-hand batter. Here's the stretch by Mike Caldwell in the pitch.

1374
02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:25,000
Breaking stuff is inside ball one.

1375
02:00:25,000 --> 02:00:32,000
Mike Caldwell, six feet tall, is 185. Duke tried to take that pitch to right field and missed and the count is one and one.

1376
02:00:32,000 --> 02:00:41,000
Caldwell was born in Tarboro, North Carolina. Lives now in Grafton, Wisconsin, just outside Milwaukee here.

1377
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:48,000
Bouncing ball past the pitcher to the second baseman. He's going to tag the runner and throw the first two late.

1378
02:00:48,000 --> 02:01:01,000
Terrell is out on the tag. Jerry thinks that Molitor missed him until 10 ties or so.

1379
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:16,000
Now Terrell continues to argue. Steve Boros is trying to go out and get first the batting helmet and now it's Jerry Terrell.

1380
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:24,000
Steve Boros becomes the mediator, steps in between and that's that.

1381
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:34,000
So three times tonight Wapen has hit ground ball. Duke is the first, one away, Frank White is the plate.

1382
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:41,000
Frank is the two ground balls, one to third, one to second. That's Caldwell's style, he's a sinker baller.

1383
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:45,000
You know that Mike has his good stuff when you see a lot of ground balls on your score sheet.

1384
02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:49,000
There's a line drive though in the center. Frank White has his first hit of the game.

1385
02:01:49,000 --> 02:02:01,000
Wapen stops at second.

1386
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:08,000
Here's Fred Poddeck. Freddy's singled in the third, wide to right in the fifth.

1387
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:18,000
Mike Caldwell, a professional since 71, got to the big leagues for six games his first professional season.

1388
02:02:18,000 --> 02:02:23,000
He was 7-7 for the Padres in his second year.

1389
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:30,000
Drafted by San Diego at a 6-1 minor league record before joining the Padres for good.

1390
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:34,000
He was 13-25 in three years with the Padres.

1391
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:45,000
Traded to the San Francisco Giants for Willie McCovey in October of 73.

1392
02:02:45,000 --> 02:02:48,000
Time out for the moment as Poddeck is outside the batter's box.

1393
02:02:48,000 --> 02:02:54,000
Runners at first and second one away. 11-3 Milwaukee where you're in the top of the sixth.

1394
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:57,000
Mike Caldwell, set at the bell, here's the pitch.

1395
02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:01,000
A high breaking ball, one ball and no strike.

1396
02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:07,000
We mentioned earlier only Ron Gidry of the Yankees had a better year than Caldwell last season.

1397
02:03:07,000 --> 02:03:13,000
Mike Caldwell led the major leagues with 23 complete games.

1398
02:03:13,000 --> 02:03:17,000
Hot shot on the ground, it is a foul ball.

1399
02:03:17,000 --> 02:03:20,000
Just whistled by the bag at third.

1400
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:21,000
One ball and one strike.

1401
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:25,000
Fetty hit the ball with authority.

1402
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:29,000
Mike Caldwell was second in the major leagues with 22 wins.

1403
02:03:29,000 --> 02:03:35,000
Tied for second in the big leagues with Jim Palmer and Bob Knepper of the Giants with six shutouts.

1404
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:39,000
Palmer of the Orioles of course, Knepper of the Giants.

1405
02:03:39,000 --> 02:03:47,000
He was third in the big leagues with an ERA of 2.37 and fourth in the big leagues and ending fifth, 293.

1406
02:03:47,000 --> 02:03:50,000
Lots done here.

1407
02:03:50,000 --> 02:03:54,000
Two on, one out, the pitcher Fetty is outside.

1408
02:03:54,000 --> 02:04:05,000
Caldwell set Brewer's season record for wins, complete games, urge run average, shutouts and consecutive wins.

1409
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:09,000
The season eve ran off seven straight victories.

1410
02:04:09,000 --> 02:04:15,000
The 2-1 pitch, a little bit high.

1411
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:24,000
The team that Mike Caldwell tormented the most, the world champion Yankees, he shut out the Yankees three times.

1412
02:04:24,000 --> 02:04:31,000
And the last pitcher to do that was a fellow by the name of Dean Shantz with the Angels way back in 1964.

1413
02:04:31,000 --> 02:04:38,000
A bouncing ball to the hole, it's short, down to Molitor for the fourth on Frank White.

1414
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:41,000
That's the second out of the inning, runners at first and third now.

1415
02:04:41,000 --> 02:04:51,000
Mochek now comes up hobbling.

1416
02:04:51,000 --> 02:05:06,000
That and Willie Wilson, Willie one out of three, single and scored in the fifth.

1417
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:10,000
Well Todd Cruz is going to replace Fred Potec.

1418
02:05:10,000 --> 02:05:20,000
Fred's still bothered by that bad leg and he was hustling down the space line and has apparently aggravated that injury.

1419
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Well, he'll leave and Todd Cruz will enter.

1420
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:26,000
11 to 3 Brewer, Royals batting in the top of the sixth.

1421
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:30,000
The Royals just announced they're going to call up Bill Papsco from Omaha.

1422
02:05:30,000 --> 02:05:33,000
I'm sure and hope that he'll be here tomorrow and be available for both end duty.

1423
02:05:33,000 --> 02:05:37,000
It looks like the effort to make a trade have fallen through,

1424
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:42,000
barring some last minute thing tonight and that doesn't look too hopeful I wouldn't think.

1425
02:05:42,000 --> 02:05:46,000
Willie hits a high drive to deep left field, back goes Pat Ogilvy.

1426
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:48,000
He's at the wall and it is gone.

1427
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:51,000
Willie Wilson, a free run homer.

1428
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:54,000
That makes it 11 to 6 Milwaukee.

1429
02:05:54,000 --> 02:06:06,000
The ninth home run surrendered by Mike Caldwell this season.

1430
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:12,000
Willie has his third home run of the year and that's the first home that he has hit out of the ballpark.

1431
02:06:12,000 --> 02:06:16,000
His first two home runs were inside the park home runs.

1432
02:06:16,000 --> 02:06:31,000
So will he get Skelly Gibson?

1433
02:06:31,000 --> 02:06:34,000
That gives Wilson 13 RBI.

1434
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:41,000
Jamie Clark at the plate and James takes the strike on one.

1435
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:44,000
Clark up there for the first time.

1436
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Breaking ball is grounded pass first base coach Steve Burrows.

1437
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:51,000
Jamie is 2 out of 6 this year.

1438
02:06:51,000 --> 02:07:03,000
Anyway, we understand that Texas has picked up left hander John Henry Johnson's moment for Dave Chalk and Mike Heath.

1439
02:07:03,000 --> 02:07:06,000
Outside, I'll tell you Johnson is a fine pitcher.

1440
02:07:06,000 --> 02:07:07,000
He's a left hander.

1441
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:09,000
We saw him last year.

1442
02:07:09,000 --> 02:07:15,000
Heath is a very promising catcher.

1443
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:17,000
A little bit outside.

1444
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:23,000
One more guy you could assume that everybody is after on this late hour is Shane Lawley of Seattle probably.

1445
02:07:23,000 --> 02:07:25,000
Another young left hander.

1446
02:07:25,000 --> 02:07:27,000
Hot shot, they hit right field.

1447
02:07:27,000 --> 02:07:33,000
Clark singles between Cooper and Molitor and his name is Otis.

1448
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:47,000
And they're beginning to throw the ball into the Milwaukee dugout.

1449
02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:50,000
Out comes Cal McClish.

1450
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:54,000
Paul Mitchell begins to throw for the Brewers.

1451
02:07:54,000 --> 02:08:03,000
Fans may not be familiar with the name John Henry Johnson because he's been pretty well buried on an open ball club.

1452
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:07,000
But I've got to agree with you from what we've seen of him.

1453
02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:14,000
I have to think if you put him on a good ball club that he's going to be a very effective pitcher.

1454
02:08:14,000 --> 02:08:27,000
I'll tell you it's a good trade in both cases because Heath progresses the way that most baseball people think he will while the A's have a fine catcher for a number of years.

1455
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:39,000
And it's good for the A's because any time you can trade a pitcher for an everyday player and especially a catcher, a second baseman, a short stopper, a center fielder, you're well ahead of the game.

1456
02:08:39,000 --> 02:08:46,000
And with Sunberg, the Rangers don't need a catcher barring injury obviously.

1457
02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,000
And it will really help their pitching staff.

1458
02:08:48,000 --> 02:08:51,000
And they felt that they were just one pitcher short.

1459
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:59,000
How do you think Dave Chuck must feel tonight? He's gone from the club leading the division to a strong contender to Oblivion.

1460
02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:02,000
Dave is probably thinking, shock me off, huh?

1461
02:09:02,000 --> 02:09:05,000
He's just shot one up for Charlie.

1462
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:07,000
Something along those lines.

1463
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:18,000
Foul by Amos Otis. One ball and one strike.

1464
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:23,000
11 to 6, Milwaukee. Royals batting in the top of the sixth.

1465
02:09:23,000 --> 02:09:29,000
Mike Caldwell pitches. Amos Otis gets a change, a high change of bat, and he bounces foul fast.

1466
02:09:29,000 --> 02:09:33,000
The third base coach Chuck Hiller. One ball, two strikes.

1467
02:09:33,000 --> 02:09:37,000
The Royals' papers will make anything reading the trading deadline midnight tonight.

1468
02:09:37,000 --> 02:09:39,000
There will be some things done this evening.

1469
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:43,000
Let's explain that trading deadline.

1470
02:09:43,000 --> 02:09:48,000
Midnight New York.

1471
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:50,000
Here's the pitch.

1472
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:52,000
Inside.

1473
02:09:52,000 --> 02:10:01,000
If the Royals are trading with a team on the west coast, for instance, they can do so until 2 a.m. Midwest time.

1474
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:06,000
So 3 o'clock in New York, it's all over. Midnight on the west coast.

1475
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:13,000
A drive down the right field line, chasing it is Lesado, and he makes a foul ball, basket-style catch.

1476
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:16,000
The retire Amos Otis and the Royals in the sixth.

1477
02:10:16,000 --> 02:10:20,000
The Royals on Willie Wilson's three-run home run.

1478
02:10:20,000 --> 02:10:22,000
Three runs on four hits.

1479
02:10:22,000 --> 02:10:27,000
And as we go to the bottom of the sixth, the Brewer's 11, the Royals sixth.

1480
02:10:27,000 --> 02:10:35,000
In tennis today, four-feeted Arthur Ashe outlasts the South African Bernie Mitten in a third-round marathon lasting 6 hours and 13 minutes.

1481
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:39,000
To reach the quarterfinals of the Queens Club Graff Court Championships in London,

1482
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:45,000
the 1975 Lumberland champions finish the match with a 7-6, 4-6, 15-13 win,

1483
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:51,000
after being interrupted four times by rain, which virtually washed out the day's program.

1484
02:10:51,000 --> 02:10:56,000
France quickly grab a 2-0 lead in their quarterfinal European zone Davis Cup meeting

1485
02:10:56,000 --> 02:11:00,000
against Cleveland before only 250 spectators.

1486
02:11:00,000 --> 02:11:07,000
In single play, Yannick Noah crouched Hans Gunthardt, 6-3 and 6-2,

1487
02:11:07,000 --> 02:11:18,000
and Dominique Biddell defeated Roland Sadler, 2-6, 6-2, 7-5, and 6-4.

1488
02:11:18,000 --> 02:11:22,000
Checking some other things in sports, saying there's an imminent danger of serious disorders

1489
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:25,000
during the Pan-American Games in Puerto Rico next month.

1490
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:31,000
Governor Carlos Romero Barcellos signed an order Friday night in San Juan mobilizing the National Guard.

1491
02:11:31,000 --> 02:11:36,000
It is the first time the National Guard of the vision of the U.S. Army has been called out

1492
02:11:36,000 --> 02:11:39,000
during the administration of Romero Barcellos.

1493
02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:47,000
The governor declined to take the measure during last year's violence and sabotage strike-strike at the state power company.

1494
02:11:47,000 --> 02:11:57,000
He also said similar measures have been taken in other nations, staging major international sports events.

1495
02:11:57,000 --> 02:12:00,000
We go to the bottom of the sixth, 11-6 Milwaukee.

1496
02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:04,000
Dick Davis, Charlie Moore, Paul Molacher coming up.

1497
02:12:04,000 --> 02:12:08,000
Davis won out of three, but that one was a grand slam home run.

1498
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:13,000
He came back in the fourth inning.

1499
02:12:13,000 --> 02:12:17,000
Eduardo Rodriguez has been in there since the third inning.

1500
02:12:17,000 --> 02:12:21,000
One ball and no strike.

1501
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:30,000
The final score, Texas 9, New York 5, for the Rangers over the Yankees in Texas.

1502
02:12:30,000 --> 02:12:32,000
Inside, 2-0.

1503
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Nine runs, 10 hits for Texas. Five runs, 10 hits for the Yankees.

1504
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:45,000
Chicago, the Red Sox and the White Sox going at it. The White Sox are leading 8-3.

1505
02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:48,000
It's all three. 3-0.

1506
02:12:48,000 --> 02:12:51,000
Carlton Smith, Olmert for Boston.

1507
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:55,000
It came in the eighth inning with nobody on his second.

1508
02:12:55,000 --> 02:12:59,000
Red Sox still trail by five, 8-3.

1509
02:12:59,000 --> 02:13:02,000
Here's the 3-0 pitch.

1510
02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:13,000
Strike called, 3-1.

1511
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:18,000
Signal given by Jamie Clark.

1512
02:13:18,000 --> 02:13:24,000
Inside, ball four.

1513
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:32,000
Well, that's only 20 base runners. The Brewers have had five innings in one hitter.

1514
02:13:32,000 --> 02:13:50,000
Here's Charlie Moore who's gone a three, a two run home run in the third.

1515
02:13:50,000 --> 02:13:54,000
Five ball into right center. Otis to his left is there and makes the catch.

1516
02:13:54,000 --> 02:13:56,000
Charlie Moore retired.

1517
02:13:56,000 --> 02:14:00,000
On the way into Milwaukee sixth inning and here comes Paul Molacher.

1518
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:04,000
He is four out of four.

1519
02:14:04,000 --> 02:14:10,000
Four singles, two runs scored, two stolen bases.

1520
02:14:10,000 --> 02:14:14,000
We salute the Pro-Am dealer in Medicine Lodge, Kansas.

1521
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:17,000
Full line supply company.

1522
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:23,000
B&G discount on a Barts in Kansas City, Kansas.

1523
02:14:23,000 --> 02:14:27,000
Paul Molacher, a six game hitting streak.

1524
02:14:27,000 --> 02:14:30,000
He started the night hitting 3-0-3 and he's four out of four.

1525
02:14:30,000 --> 02:14:32,000
He's twice as one down the right field line.

1526
02:14:32,000 --> 02:14:34,000
It is peeling off into the crowd.

1527
02:14:34,000 --> 02:14:37,000
No balls and a strike.

1528
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:41,000
Dan Ford, Olmert to the Angels in the ninth inning with nobody on his eighth.

1529
02:14:41,000 --> 02:14:47,000
The Angels out in front of the Tigers, eight to seven.

1530
02:14:47,000 --> 02:14:50,000
Boston got three in the eighth.

1531
02:14:50,000 --> 02:14:52,000
They have chopped into the Light Sox lead.

1532
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:56,000
It's now the Light Sox eight, Boston five.

1533
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:57,000
Red Sox trying to rally.

1534
02:14:57,000 --> 02:15:07,000
Molacher takes high, one ball and a strike.

1535
02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:09,000
Eleven runs, 13 hits for the Brewers.

1536
02:15:09,000 --> 02:15:11,000
Six runs, a dozen hits for the Royals.

1537
02:15:11,000 --> 02:15:12,000
There goes the runner.

1538
02:15:12,000 --> 02:15:16,000
Five balls, short center, Otis is there and makes the catch.

1539
02:15:16,000 --> 02:15:18,000
Dick Davis retreats to first.

1540
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:28,000
Paul Molacher retired for the first time tonight and the batter will be Cecil Cooper.

1541
02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:30,000
Cecil is one out of four.

1542
02:15:30,000 --> 02:15:34,000
He's singled and scored in the first inning.

1543
02:15:34,000 --> 02:15:39,000
Tomorrow afternoon, either Marty Patton or Steve Roeske against Jim Clayton.

1544
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:47,000
And on Sunday afternoon, Rich Gale and Larry Sorensen.

1545
02:15:47,000 --> 02:15:48,000
Runner at first, two down.

1546
02:15:48,000 --> 02:15:49,000
Here's the pitch.

1547
02:15:49,000 --> 02:16:00,000
It's way inside, backhanded by Jamie Quirk.

1548
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:02,000
Just the perfect night for baseball.

1549
02:16:02,000 --> 02:16:06,000
It's not blowing to left, it was blowing quite hard when the game started.

1550
02:16:06,000 --> 02:16:11,000
But the wind has calmed a bit, the temperature in the 80s.

1551
02:16:11,000 --> 02:16:23,000
The weatherman says tomorrow, temperature into the 90s.

1552
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:27,000
One ball and one strike on, left hand hitting Cecil Cooper.

1553
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:31,000
Now a ball backing out of play.

1554
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:44,000
One ball and two strikes.

1555
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:46,000
The Rillers try to win their 35th game of the year.

1556
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:48,000
They're 34 and 29.

1557
02:16:48,000 --> 02:16:50,000
Royals are 33 and 29.

1558
02:16:50,000 --> 02:16:53,000
Flying to right field, they hit for Cooper.

1559
02:16:53,000 --> 02:17:01,000
Dick Davis puts on the brakes in second.

1560
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:03,000
Val Bando comes toward the plate.

1561
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:08,000
Val hit a three run homer in the first, walked in the second, singled and scored in the fourth,

1562
02:17:08,000 --> 02:17:17,000
and popped his second in the fifth.

1563
02:17:17,000 --> 02:17:25,000
First and second occupied, two outs.

1564
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:38,000
Right hander against right hander, outside the foul, ball one.

1565
02:17:38,000 --> 02:17:42,000
Frank Howard, the big first base coach talking to Cecil Cooper.

1566
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:50,000
He takes down too low.

1567
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:56,000
Frank Howard is listed in the Milwaukee Press Guide at 6'7", 300 pounds.

1568
02:17:56,000 --> 02:17:58,000
He has definitely lost weight since last year.

1569
02:17:58,000 --> 02:18:02,000
There's the breaking ball for strike two and one.

1570
02:18:02,000 --> 02:18:07,000
His weight last year was in the neighborhood of 375.

1571
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:10,000
He was born in Columbus, Ohio.

1572
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:12,000
Makes his home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

1573
02:18:12,000 --> 02:18:14,000
He attended Ohio State.

1574
02:18:14,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Fine basketball player there.

1575
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:21,000
Bando hits the foul ball, backing out of play.

1576
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:23,000
Quirk to the screen, is nothing doing.

1577
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:26,000
Two balls and two strikes.

1578
02:18:26,000 --> 02:18:35,000
Frank Howard in his major league career is 382 home runs, 123 in the national league.

1579
02:18:35,000 --> 02:18:39,000
He was with the Dodgers, five full seasons with the Dodgers.

1580
02:18:39,000 --> 02:18:48,000
Then spent seven years with the Washington Senators, 259 career homers in the American League.

1581
02:18:48,000 --> 02:18:53,000
And a very respectable batting average for his flugger anyway, a 273.

1582
02:18:53,000 --> 02:19:02,000
Bando hits a high pop foul, George Scott right to the barrier, no play.

1583
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:05,000
Frank Howard played 15 years in the big league.

1584
02:19:05,000 --> 02:19:10,000
He was the National League Rookie of the Year in 1960 with the Dodgers.

1585
02:19:10,000 --> 02:19:17,000
Finished his career with the Tigers, spent 74 in Japan.

1586
02:19:17,000 --> 02:19:22,000
Designed by the Dodgers in 1958.

1587
02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:26,000
He hit one of the hardest home runs I have ever seen hit off the Royals.

1588
02:19:26,000 --> 02:19:30,000
Left-hander Tom Bergmeier at the old stadium in Washington, D.C., bouncing ball to short.

1589
02:19:30,000 --> 02:19:35,000
Cruz goes to white for the first play on Cooper's second and that's the inning.

1590
02:19:35,000 --> 02:19:39,000
One hit, no runs, a walk to left, they strand it ten, but they score 11.

1591
02:19:39,000 --> 02:19:43,000
The end is six, the drillers 11, the Royals six.

1592
02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:48,000
Couple of baseball notes, possibly with tongue-in-cheek and possibly not,

1593
02:19:48,000 --> 02:19:54,000
but Harrelson's former softball team is demanding compensation from the Philadelphia Phillies for signing Bud.

1594
02:19:54,000 --> 02:20:00,000
Harrelson played for the Browzerie, a team in a league governed by the Huntington Long Island Softball Commission.

1595
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:08,000
Commissioner Ty, the letterer of the Huntington group, fired off a letter to the baseball commissioner, Fui Kuen, asking compensation for Harrelson.

1596
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:12,000
Bud retired from baseball two months ago and has been playing softball on weekends.

1597
02:20:12,000 --> 02:20:16,000
Recently returned to the Phillies after he lost a couple of infielders through injuries.

1598
02:20:16,000 --> 02:20:23,000
The compensation Huntington is asking for is silly relief pitcher, Claude McGraw, a blight spirit on and off the diamond.

1599
02:20:23,000 --> 02:20:31,000
Former Detroit Tiger first baseman Norm Cash is in serious condition after having what doctors believe was a slight stroke.

1600
02:20:31,000 --> 02:20:38,000
A Tiger's team positions as Cash suffered some paralysis on the right side of his face and body, but is still able to speak.

1601
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:48,000
The 44-year-old Cash played for the Tigers from 1960 through 1974, hitting 373 home runs in that span.

1602
02:20:48,000 --> 02:20:59,000
While on Thursday the Cleveland Indians and San Diego Potrades completed the trade, the Indians sent out Fielder Paul Dade to the Potrades in exchange for first baseman Mike Hargrove.

1603
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:04,000
The 27-year-old Dade was batting 282 for the Tribe with three homers and 18 runs batted in.

1604
02:21:04,000 --> 02:21:14,000
Hargrove, who's 29, hit only 192 with no homers and eight RBIs to the Potrades this year, but he's a lifetime 288 hitter.

1605
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:21,000
As the Royals come to bat in the seventh, the Brewers have a new pitcher, and he is none other than Paul Mitchell.

1606
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:27,000
We owe you a station break, so let's take care of that item of business right now. This is the Kansas City Royals Radio Network.

1607
02:21:27,000 --> 02:21:39,000
This is the American Forces Radio and Television Service.

1608
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:48,000
Denny Matthews along with Fred White and producer-engineer Ed Sheppard at County Stadium, Milwaukee, where a fine crowd of 32,812 seats.

1609
02:21:48,000 --> 02:21:59,000
A lot of hits, runs, a couple of errors. 11 runs, 14 hits for the Brewers, 6 runs, and 12 hits for the Royals.

1610
02:21:59,000 --> 02:22:05,000
So Paul Mitchell takes over. Mike Caldwell in six innings to allow the six runs to a dozen hits.

1611
02:22:05,000 --> 02:22:13,000
Seven innings, here again is Fred. Okay, thank you, Denny. On a night that the Royals got to, Mike Caldwell, who had finished nine of his 13 starts prior to this,

1612
02:22:13,000 --> 02:22:20,000
and they got to him for six runs and a dozen hits in six innings, and tonight the Royal pitching couldn't hold him.

1613
02:22:20,000 --> 02:22:27,000
The Royals down by five. Still alive and breathing here in Milwaukee, the offense bringing to life.

1614
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:31,000
After the Royals were down six to nothing, they cut it to six to two, then it was 11 to two.

1615
02:22:31,000 --> 02:22:42,000
Now they're back to 11 to six, and Al Callens hoping to start something against Paul Mitchell, formerly of the Oakland A's and the Seattle Mariters.

1616
02:22:42,000 --> 02:22:47,000
Right hander against right hander to start the Royal half of the seven.

1617
02:22:47,000 --> 02:22:56,000
Mitchell set the first pitch, Al Callens on the way. High bouncer foul, pass third. One strike.

1618
02:22:56,000 --> 02:23:09,000
The Reds beat the Phillies six to three tonight. A title in Philadelphia.

1619
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:17,000
Mitchell running, here's the pitch. High fly ball, right field. Six to Los Canos, just in a couple of steps, makes the catch.

1620
02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:26,000
Al Callens retired, he's won for four tonight. Now George Scott, who is single and short, he's won for three.

1621
02:23:26,000 --> 02:23:34,000
And again the Blue River fans beat Scott with booze.

1622
02:23:34,000 --> 02:23:42,000
George was very vocal about running out of Milwaukee, the fans haven't forgotten.

1623
02:23:42,000 --> 02:23:47,000
And aren't likely to. Mitchell ready to pitch.

1624
02:23:47,000 --> 02:24:01,000
We're going to miss by Scott. Jerry Finnell next.

1625
02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:06,000
Mitchell ready again to pitch. Outside one and one.

1626
02:24:06,000 --> 02:24:14,000
The Royal offense tonight has been marked by a pre-run homer by Willie Wilson. The first home run in his major league career that he did out of the park.

1627
02:24:14,000 --> 02:24:19,000
He had two inside departures earlier this year.

1628
02:24:19,000 --> 02:24:27,000
Now Charlie Moore out to talk to Paul Mitchell. The conference breaks up in a hurry.

1629
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:36,000
George Scott wearing number zero. He had always worn number five, but you know who that belongs to on the Royal.

1630
02:24:36,000 --> 02:24:46,000
Right call, one and two. In case you don't, George Brett.

1631
02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Mitchell set to pitch again. All outside the county, even South to two. Paul Mitchell thought he had him struck out.

1632
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:04,000
Four foot down a side. Here's the two-two pitch.

1633
02:25:04,000 --> 02:25:10,000
High bouncer to shortstop Robin Yow with a chest high hop, but it was out Scott's two men gone.

1634
02:25:10,000 --> 02:25:16,000
Scott's run for four tonight. Here's Jerry Terrell who's beat out an infield single his first time up.

1635
02:25:16,000 --> 02:25:22,000
Well how would you little leaguers like to take your entire team out to see the Royal's big leaguers play free?

1636
02:25:22,000 --> 02:25:30,000
For your chance, just register at any participating unit Royal dealer.

1637
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:39,000
Terrell in, two out, nobody on, top of the seventh, 11 to six Milwaukee.

1638
02:25:39,000 --> 02:25:44,000
Now Terrell steps out again. Watson will hit.

1639
02:25:44,000 --> 02:25:48,000
Tipped inning if Terrell gets aboard.

1640
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:51,000
Here's the pitch.

1641
02:25:51,000 --> 02:25:59,000
Off-speed braking stuff high, one and oh.

1642
02:25:59,000 --> 02:26:04,000
More foot down another side. Mitchell set again to pitch. High flies all center field.

1643
02:26:04,000 --> 02:26:09,000
Worman Thomas backpedaling in front of the warning track. Rings it down and the innings over.

1644
02:26:09,000 --> 02:26:13,000
The Royals go one, two, three. We go to the bottom of the seventh in Milwaukee.

1645
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:16,000
The Brewers 11 and the Royals six.

1646
02:26:16,000 --> 02:26:22,000
One of the longer ball games, at least a little bit longer than average, we usually figure about two hours and 45.

1647
02:26:22,000 --> 02:26:28,000
We're heading down 20 minutes away from the three-hour mark and we still have possibly two and a half innings to go.

1648
02:26:28,000 --> 02:26:34,000
A big lead though, we may only have two because Milwaukee were not that in the home nine.

1649
02:26:34,000 --> 02:26:42,000
Well San Francisco Giants fans have Ron Gordon to thank for 75 cent hot dogs at Candlestick Park.

1650
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:50,000
Yesterday Gordon won 11 month title to get the San Francisco Park and Recreation Board to roll back a five cent hot dog surcharge

1651
02:26:50,000 --> 02:26:53,000
at Granite Stevens California Enterprises.

1652
02:26:53,000 --> 02:27:00,000
He had to pay for the surcharge to pay for wrapping the dogs in paper as required by the state health code.

1653
02:27:00,000 --> 02:27:07,000
The 33-year-old biology teacher drew charts, even demonstrated hot dog wrapping to show the Recreation Board

1654
02:27:07,000 --> 02:27:10,000
it could be done a lot faster than Stevens was claiming.

1655
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:20,000
When the board voted yesterday to roll back the extra nickels and elated Gordon said, hot dog.

1656
02:27:20,000 --> 02:27:23,000
That's not really what he said. He said, I can't believe it took this long.

1657
02:27:23,000 --> 02:27:27,000
A friend's wife was pregnant when she began and now they have a ten month old baby.

1658
02:27:27,000 --> 02:27:30,000
So it's still hot dog.

1659
02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:34,000
Alright let's check the scoreboard now.

1660
02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:38,000
The Yankees have been beaten by Texas nine to five.

1661
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:41,000
Baltimore, Minnesota on the top of the ninth.

1662
02:27:41,000 --> 02:27:44,000
Orioles at bat and it's all tied up at four to four.

1663
02:27:44,000 --> 02:27:47,000
Final of the National League, Cincinnati beats Philadelphia six to three.

1664
02:27:47,000 --> 02:27:50,000
The Yankees have two braves one. Houston one over Montreal two to one.

1665
02:27:50,000 --> 02:27:53,000
Game just underway. One and a half. Pittsburgh one. Lafaz is nothing.

1666
02:27:53,000 --> 02:27:57,000
No score after two between St. Louis and San Francisco.

1667
02:27:57,000 --> 02:28:03,000
Nothing in yet. Chicago and San Diego, but they are underway.

1668
02:28:03,000 --> 02:28:06,000
Some other finals in the American League. Toronto six, Oakland nothing.

1669
02:28:06,000 --> 02:28:08,000
That game was finished a long time ago.

1670
02:28:08,000 --> 02:28:10,000
Cleveland slaughtered Seattle 13 to three.

1671
02:28:10,000 --> 02:28:13,000
And California's eight to seven. Eight to seven win over Detroit.

1672
02:28:13,000 --> 02:28:17,000
Marky Anderson is 0-2, a new skipper of the Tigers.

1673
02:28:17,000 --> 02:28:19,000
Final of the seventh in Milwaukee.

1674
02:28:19,000 --> 02:28:22,000
Stephen and Corey takes over on the mound now for the Loyals.

1675
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:30,000
Ed Rodriguez went three in the third. Gave up seven hits, five runs, a home run.

1676
02:28:30,000 --> 02:28:35,000
The Loyals are going to have to come back or slip five games behind California.

1677
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:40,000
The Angels have hung on to defeat Detroit eight to seven tonight.

1678
02:28:40,000 --> 02:28:44,000
Cardinal three San Francisco, or Cardinal nothing San Francisco nothing.

1679
02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:52,000
The bottom of the third. White Sox beat Boston eight to five tonight.

1680
02:28:52,000 --> 02:28:56,000
And then Corey's first pick to Gorman Thomas misses outside. Ball one.

1681
02:28:56,000 --> 02:28:59,000
In Cincinnati's win Tom Siebert got the win. He's four and five.

1682
02:28:59,000 --> 02:29:06,000
Chris is the loser one and four.

1683
02:29:06,000 --> 02:29:10,000
Corey ready to pitch again. Swing and a miss.

1684
02:29:10,000 --> 02:29:15,000
Count even down the ball on the strike on Gorman Thomas.

1685
02:29:15,000 --> 02:29:19,000
Apparently the most excitement in the park right now is the servants down the left field line.

1686
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:27,000
Everybody paying attention to that and none of the game.

1687
02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:30,000
Then he has the glasses on. We make it a blow by blow account.

1688
02:29:30,000 --> 02:29:46,000
Here's a pitch to Gorman Thomas. Strike call one and two.

1689
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:51,000
Nobody on nobody out. Bottom of the seventh, 11 to six Milwaukee.

1690
02:29:51,000 --> 02:30:04,000
Gorman Thomas pitches a high foul ball in the upper deck down the left field side. Two and one and two.

1691
02:30:04,000 --> 02:30:10,000
Then he's lost interest. It must have been a very weak altercation.

1692
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:16,000
Now he's back at it.

1693
02:30:16,000 --> 02:30:19,000
Gorman Thomas waiting. Gorman Thomas whining. Here's the pitch.

1694
02:30:19,000 --> 02:30:29,000
Way outside. Count evens out two two.

1695
02:30:29,000 --> 02:30:36,000
Good crowd here tonight. 32,812.

1696
02:30:36,000 --> 02:30:51,000
And Gorman Thomas is in a full count. Three and two.

1697
02:30:51,000 --> 02:30:56,000
Gorman Thomas waiting. Stephen and Corey whining. Here comes a three two pitch.

1698
02:30:56,000 --> 02:31:03,000
High foul ball down the left field side again. Gorman Thomas at home run range.

1699
02:31:03,000 --> 02:31:12,000
Three and two to count.

1700
02:31:12,000 --> 02:31:18,000
Gap field playing Thomas deep in the ball.

1701
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:21,000
And Corey ready again to three two pitch on the way.

1702
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:24,000
Popped him up foul but it's going to be out of play.

1703
02:31:24,000 --> 02:31:34,000
Here the Royal dugout runs out of room.

1704
02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:43,000
So still three and two to Gorman Thomas.

1705
02:31:43,000 --> 02:31:50,000
So home and Corey with a new baseball set to work again.

1706
02:31:50,000 --> 02:31:56,000
Back in. Again the line and again the three two pitch.

1707
02:31:56,000 --> 02:32:00,000
Ball four.

1708
02:32:00,000 --> 02:32:03,000
That's the seventh walk given up by Royal pitching tonight.

1709
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:08,000
The first issued by Stephen and Corey. He walks the first man he faces.

1710
02:32:08,000 --> 02:32:21,000
Here comes Ben Ogilvie who's over three. He's walking toward the run.

1711
02:32:21,000 --> 02:32:25,000
Now the sixth man who had walked prior to this. Three is short.

1712
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:30,000
So yes the baseball on ball does hurt.

1713
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:35,000
It's eleven to six Brewers. We're in the bottom of the seventh. Ogilvie in.

1714
02:32:35,000 --> 02:32:38,000
Scott holding the runner at first to pitch.

1715
02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:41,000
Ground ball. Scott grabs and steps on first throws the second.

1716
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:45,000
Now they've got the runner trapped and he is tanked out by George Scott.

1717
02:32:45,000 --> 02:32:49,000
An excellent play by Scott at first base.

1718
02:32:49,000 --> 02:32:54,000
Ogilvie just hit a BB down the first base line. Scott.

1719
02:32:54,000 --> 02:32:58,000
Able to pick it off. Steps on the bag.

1720
02:32:58,000 --> 02:33:04,000
Then through the shortstop Todd Cruz who ran Thomas back to first then fired to Scott who tanked him out.

1721
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:07,000
So it's a three six three double play.

1722
02:33:07,000 --> 02:33:10,000
With George Scott recording both foot outs of course.

1723
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:16,000
Two out nobody on to Sixth Field Lescano. He has singles wide. He has walks wide.

1724
02:33:16,000 --> 02:33:21,000
Driven in a run and scored wide.

1725
02:33:21,000 --> 02:33:24,000
So quickly two out nobody on.

1726
02:33:24,000 --> 02:33:27,000
And now Lescano in and Corey's pitch.

1727
02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:31,000
Ground ball to shortstop Cruz has it. Comes up gunning and the inning's over.

1728
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:35,000
Lescano goes short to first. No runs no hits. Nobody left.

1729
02:33:35,000 --> 02:33:39,000
And after seven it's Milwaukee 11 and the Royals six.

1730
02:33:39,000 --> 02:33:46,000
Now Bumrey has just smashed a triple to the right field corner and the Orioles have scored twice in the top of the ninth.

1731
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:51,000
So Minnesota now coming to bat and they need a couple of runs to stay alive in that ball game.

1732
02:33:51,000 --> 02:33:55,000
The score is the Orioles six and the twins four.

1733
02:33:55,000 --> 02:34:01,000
Al Bumrey has been hot as a Blake getting his first triple of the year. He picked a good time to do it with two mates on board.

1734
02:34:01,000 --> 02:34:06,000
Mike Squires drove in four runs including two with a double a key to five run second inning.

1735
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:10,000
The Chicago White Sox registered an eight to five victory over the Boston Red Sox.

1736
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:16,000
Chicago also took advantage of three Boston errors as Rich Wartham seven and five picked up the victory.

1737
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:20,000
Allowing eight hits before giving way to Steve Trout in the eighth inning.

1738
02:34:20,000 --> 02:34:25,000
Again it's eight to five Chicago over Boston.

1739
02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:30,000
Dan Ford snapped a seven to seven tie with a ninth inning over and Bobby Gritch belted a pair of home runs.

1740
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:35,000
Driving three runs giving the California Angels an eight to seven victory over Detroit.

1741
02:34:35,000 --> 02:34:39,000
And handing new Tigers manager Sparky Anderson his second loss in his many nights.

1742
02:34:39,000 --> 02:34:48,000
John Grubb and Al Oliver each drove in a couple of runs in an eight run fifth inning to propel the Texas Rangers for nine to five wins over the New York Yankees.

1743
02:34:48,000 --> 02:34:52,000
New York starter Ed Bigarro retired the first eleven men he faced.

1744
02:34:52,000 --> 02:34:59,000
But after the Rangers tied the game one one in the fourth they sent twelve men to the plate in the fifth for their most productive inning of the season.

1745
02:34:59,000 --> 02:35:04,000
And the National Lake Tom Steber celebrated the two year anniversary of his trade to Cincinnati by tossing a six hitter.

1746
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:11,000
And also double on two runs as Cincinnati beat Philadelphia six to three.

1747
02:35:11,000 --> 02:35:18,000
The sixth Milwaukee John Watson deleted off against Paul Mitchell and again here's Denny.

1748
02:35:18,000 --> 02:35:21,000
I read Watson is 0 for 3 he has four to run.

1749
02:35:21,000 --> 02:35:30,000
Eleven runs on fourteen hits four Milwaukee they got three in the first one in the second two in the third and five in the fourth none since.

1750
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:34,000
The Royals two in the fourth one in the fifth and three in the sixth.

1751
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:44,000
The Rockland fly ball in the right field was kind of fading back makes the catch and there's one away.

1752
02:35:44,000 --> 02:35:55,000
The Royals three runs in the sixth the result of Willie Wilson's home run is first outside the park home run this year he had two inside the park home run.

1753
02:35:55,000 --> 02:36:03,000
The batter is Frank White Frank is one out of three single in the sixth.

1754
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:09,000
It's been a big day or a day night for the Brewers thirty two thousand eight hundred twelve looking on.

1755
02:36:09,000 --> 02:36:12,000
They have drawn very well this year.

1756
02:36:12,000 --> 02:36:24,000
After a Paul Mitchell fastball didn't get it.

1757
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:30,000
The Brewers started the night having drawn five hundred and eighty five thousand so far.

1758
02:36:30,000 --> 02:36:37,000
The Bulls by a curve it's a foul ball by the Brewer dugout and Charlie Moore the catcher makes a nice catch.

1759
02:36:37,000 --> 02:36:42,000
Paul Mitchell really pulled the string on a breaking ball and Frank off the side and pulled fouls out.

1760
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:50,000
Morris he neared the Milwaukee Brewers dugout took a little peek to see where he was but nonetheless able to make the catch.

1761
02:36:50,000 --> 02:37:08,000
Two down now Steve Braun is going to hit for Todd Cruz.

1762
02:37:08,000 --> 02:37:18,000
Steve Braun has a four game hitting streak alive having gone seven for fifteen four runs a pair of homers and three RBI.

1763
02:37:18,000 --> 02:37:29,000
In his last six games has gone nine for twenty one he takes a strike on one.

1764
02:37:29,000 --> 02:37:33,000
Right hander Paul Mitchell ready and pitches.

1765
02:37:33,000 --> 02:37:43,000
Fastball missed away one ball and one strike.

1766
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:53,000
The Bulls come in the top of the eighth the Royals down eleven six off speed and outside.

1767
02:37:53,000 --> 02:38:01,000
Mitchell two one pitch Braun chops one foul off his front foot and that was stung.

1768
02:38:01,000 --> 02:38:14,000
Get to the hot get to the hot right here come here get home here come here.

1769
02:38:14,000 --> 02:38:20,000
That pitch sharply down on his instep.

1770
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:29,000
Two balls two strikes two outs.

1771
02:38:29,000 --> 02:38:41,000
Now we're ready Paul Mitchell's two two pitch over but low three and two Braun has an excellent eye.

1772
02:38:41,000 --> 02:38:44,000
Back he comes in a high drive to deep right field.

1773
02:38:44,000 --> 02:38:49,000
Lascano on the warning track as Brew makes the catch and that ends the inning.

1774
02:38:49,000 --> 02:38:54,000
Steve Braun hits the ball deep and out the Royals down one two three in the top of the eighth.

1775
02:38:54,000 --> 02:38:58,000
The Brewers take their turn in the bottom of the eighth inning and Milwaukee leads the Royals eleven to six.

1776
02:38:58,000 --> 02:39:13,000
Billie Jean King blasted a warning of her intention to capture the all time record of 20 Wimbledon titles today by overwhelming Martina Neva DeLova six one six two in just over 45 minutes at England's Chessister Tennis Tournament.

1777
02:39:13,000 --> 02:39:19,000
The 35 year old King was more alert more enthusiastic and more competitive than the Wimbledon champion.

1778
02:39:19,000 --> 02:39:26,000
Neva DeLova won the first game but then lost ten in a row and a spell of utter depression and lack of touch with the soft grass.

1779
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:30,000
She watched the match slip from her grasp with a suddenness that stunned the crowd.

1780
02:39:30,000 --> 02:39:41,000
King has a semifinal encounter with former Wimbledon champion Yvonne Gullagong who ended Tantigarden's fine run by six two seven six in the quarterfinal.

1781
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:47,000
Earlier in the day Tegarden had beaten Rosie Casale two six six two and six three.

1782
02:39:47,000 --> 02:39:55,000
At London temperamental tennis star Linus Tazi mainstay of a little known Romanian squad scored a straight set victory over West Germany's Peter Elter.

1783
02:39:55,000 --> 02:40:00,000
To keep his country hope alive in the European zone B quarterfinals of the Davis Cup.

1784
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:08,000
Tazi one of the absentees from this month's upcoming Wimbledon championships because of nagging injury won six four six four and six two.

1785
02:40:08,000 --> 02:40:14,000
Poland's Wojciech Pajbik like Tazi a lone world class player on an inexperienced team.

1786
02:40:14,000 --> 02:40:29,000
Posted in static six two six love two six and six four win over Italy's Andriano Pannata in a zone B quarterfinal to raise the possibility of a surprise Polish victory over the 1976 champion.

1787
02:40:29,000 --> 02:40:34,000
The return singles matches will be played on Wednesday.

1788
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:38,000
Milwaukee eleven the Royal Six bottom of the eighth inning.

1789
02:40:38,000 --> 02:40:39,000
Robin Youn is the plate.

1790
02:40:39,000 --> 02:40:44,000
Steven Dory on the mound. Youn is one out of three single back in the first inning.

1791
02:40:44,000 --> 02:40:46,000
Bingo pitches a screwball put in this.

1792
02:40:46,000 --> 02:40:48,000
Oh and what.

1793
02:40:48,000 --> 02:40:53,000
The New York Yankees and the Cleveland Indians have just made a trade.

1794
02:40:53,000 --> 02:41:04,000
Outfielder catcher designated hitter Cliff Johnson goes from New York to Cleveland in exchange for a left hand pitcher Don Hood.

1795
02:41:04,000 --> 02:41:12,000
A ball to Robin Youn one and one.

1796
02:41:12,000 --> 02:41:14,000
Here's the pitch.

1797
02:41:14,000 --> 02:41:18,000
Down ball sharply hit Washington now at short nice backhand pickup in the three.

1798
02:41:18,000 --> 02:41:22,000
Got him. Oh and a play by Youn.

1799
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:27,000
Youn Washington who has just entered the ballgame.

1800
02:41:27,000 --> 02:41:33,000
We all remember batted for Todd Cruz. Youn makes a sparkling play deep in the hole at short.

1801
02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:36,000
Not only a fine stop but an even better throw.

1802
02:41:36,000 --> 02:41:44,000
Youn can run one away here is Dick Davis.

1803
02:41:44,000 --> 02:41:49,000
Davis a grand slam home run in the fourth inning.

1804
02:41:49,000 --> 02:41:58,000
And as the Royals scored two in the fourth one in the fifth and three in the sixth that grand slam home run became a mighty mighty big item in this game.

1805
02:41:58,000 --> 02:42:03,000
The first pitch is a strike on one.

1806
02:42:03,000 --> 02:42:07,000
The other trade tonight between the Texas Rangers and the Oakland A's.

1807
02:42:07,000 --> 02:42:09,000
Mike Heath and Dave Shaw.

1808
02:42:09,000 --> 02:42:12,000
Heath a catcher. Shaw an infielder.

1809
02:42:12,000 --> 02:42:18,000
From Texas to Oakland in exchange for a left hand pitcher John Johnson.

1810
02:42:18,000 --> 02:42:23,000
A ball and a strike on Dick Davis.

1811
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:29,000
The Royal Fab recalls Bill Paschal from Omaha.

1812
02:42:29,000 --> 02:42:33,000
Down ball sharply hit. Carroll the third scoops it up.

1813
02:42:33,000 --> 02:42:40,000
On to George Scott in time.

1814
02:42:40,000 --> 02:42:48,000
Two away here is Charlie Moore the catcher.

1815
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:53,000
Charlie has kicked in a two run home run to the Brewer cause.

1816
02:42:53,000 --> 02:43:00,000
He's one out of four he's also applied to center bounce out and then call that on strike.

1817
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:06,000
Paul Splittorf made the start his first pitching assignment he missed nine days you know because of the flu.

1818
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:11,000
Bouncing ball foul outside third.

1819
02:43:11,000 --> 02:43:23,000
When Paul struggled it was just hard work for Splitt tonight didn't have his good stuff didn't have his good control at all he was behind almost every hitter and as you know that is very unlikable.

1820
02:43:23,000 --> 02:43:27,000
Though he missed the week and a half and he paid the price tonight.

1821
02:43:27,000 --> 02:43:34,000
So did the Royals the Brewers had the Royals down six nothing after three.

1822
02:43:34,000 --> 02:43:44,000
And 11 to two at the end of four.

1823
02:43:44,000 --> 02:43:50,000
No balls and a strike on Charlie Moore right hand batter.

1824
02:43:50,000 --> 02:43:52,000
Here's the pitch.

1825
02:43:52,000 --> 02:43:57,000
Little pop up in the shallow right center Collins on the running got there.

1826
02:43:57,000 --> 02:43:58,000
Good play by Al.

1827
02:43:58,000 --> 02:44:02,000
Two fine plays for the Royals in the eighth inning.

1828
02:44:02,000 --> 02:44:06,000
The Brewers go down one two three and that is the first time tonight.

1829
02:44:06,000 --> 02:44:10,000
We go to the night Milwaukee 11 and the Royals six.

1830
02:44:10,000 --> 02:44:15,000
As you heard a moment ago Cliff Johnson has been traded by the Yankees he's the one that got in the fight with Goose Scott.

1831
02:44:15,000 --> 02:44:22,000
He's been in action for a while. Cliff Johnson goes to Cleveland exchange for pitcher Don Hood we should get more details on that trade a little bit later.

1832
02:44:22,000 --> 02:44:37,000
We do have this word in from Arlington Texas the Texas Rangers tonight traded right handed pitcher Doc Ellis to the New York Mets for two minor league pitchers and veteran infielder Dave Schalk to the Oakland A's for a pair of left handed pitchers and cash.

1833
02:44:37,000 --> 02:44:47,000
In the last deal the Rangers dealt Ellis one and five this year with an earned run average of five point nine eight for minor league left hander Bob Myrick and right hander Mike Brewer.

1834
02:44:47,000 --> 02:44:55,000
Myrick and Brewer will go from the Mets Todd water farm club in the international league to the Rangers Tucson farm club in the Pacific Coast League.

1835
02:44:55,000 --> 02:45:02,000
Ellis who has played for Pittsburgh the Yankees Oakland and the Rangers was traded to Texas during the winter of 1975 76.

1836
02:45:02,000 --> 02:45:12,000
Before the Ellis deal the Rangers announced the acquisition of left handed pitcher John Henry Johnson from the Oakland A's for infielder Dave Schalk minor league catcher Mike Keith and cash.

1837
02:45:12,000 --> 02:45:20,000
Texas owner Brett Corbett personally made the Johnson Schalk Keith deal with A's owner Charlie Finley after an early morning flight to Chicago.

1838
02:45:20,000 --> 02:45:26,000
The Rangers has been in need of another left handed starter to go with John Madlak with Johnson's addition.

1839
02:45:26,000 --> 02:45:38,000
Out of the parter of Ellis the Rangers have ten pitchers on the roster. Johnson's 22 had an excellent rookie season with the A's last year posting an 11-10 mark and earned run average of three point three nine.

1840
02:45:38,000 --> 02:45:44,000
Oil's batting the ninth trailing 11 to six Paul Mitchell sent to work to the top of the order.

1841
02:45:44,000 --> 02:45:47,000
Willie Wilson Jamie Clark and Amos Otis.

1842
02:45:47,000 --> 02:45:54,000
Paul Mitchell if he works this inning without any difficulty is eligible to get a save having worked three innings.

1843
02:45:54,000 --> 02:45:59,000
Mike Caldwell wins the first six and Mike stands to win his seventh game.

1844
02:45:59,000 --> 02:46:03,000
A final score from Chicago.

1845
02:46:03,000 --> 02:46:07,000
The White Sox have down the Boston Red Sox eight to five.

1846
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:12,000
Rich Wortham the win now seven and five Mike Torres the loss Mike is six and five.

1847
02:46:12,000 --> 02:46:18,000
And a big big crowd in Chicago tonight forty six thousand five hundred and fifty six.

1848
02:46:18,000 --> 02:46:22,000
The White Sox sent them home happy. Line drive off the bat of Wilson based hit.

1849
02:46:22,000 --> 02:46:28,000
Willie has his third hit of the night. He started the night at three forty two he's three out of five.

1850
02:46:28,000 --> 02:46:37,000
Two singles and a three run home run two run score.

1851
02:46:37,000 --> 02:46:42,000
That is the first hit off Mitchell who retired the first six.

1852
02:46:42,000 --> 02:46:48,000
Jamie Clark the batter he's single back in the sixth.

1853
02:46:48,000 --> 02:46:53,000
Rolls down eleven to six.

1854
02:46:53,000 --> 02:46:55,000
The stretch by Mitchell.

1855
02:46:55,000 --> 02:46:58,000
The pitch to quirk is a fastball outside.

1856
02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:04,000
The White Sox still in at eight runs nine hits Boston five runs eleven hits.

1857
02:47:04,000 --> 02:47:10,000
The White Sox got two in the first five in the second.

1858
02:47:10,000 --> 02:47:16,000
Jamie had a good cut and he fouls him. One ball and one strike.

1859
02:47:16,000 --> 02:47:18,000
Last night.

1860
02:47:18,000 --> 02:47:22,000
Marty Patten or Steve Busby against Jim Slayton.

1861
02:47:22,000 --> 02:47:25,000
And on Sunday Rich Gale and Larry Sorensen.

1862
02:47:25,000 --> 02:47:29,000
Slayton five and three Sorensen is eight and six.

1863
02:47:29,000 --> 02:47:34,000
Gale five and four Marty Patten is three and oh.

1864
02:47:34,000 --> 02:47:40,000
Steve Busby is two and three.

1865
02:47:40,000 --> 02:47:46,000
The pitch to Jamie Clark is slice foul and out of play.

1866
02:47:46,000 --> 02:47:57,000
Lands in the seats on the third base side one ball two strikes.

1867
02:47:57,000 --> 02:48:00,000
Willie Wilson at first nobody out.

1868
02:48:00,000 --> 02:48:03,000
All Mitchell against the side.

1869
02:48:03,000 --> 02:48:17,000
The right hander at the belt checking to see where Willie is overhand curve to quirk is grounded foul outside first.

1870
02:48:17,000 --> 02:48:33,000
He's trying to even up the season series between these two clubs at two games apiece.

1871
02:48:33,000 --> 02:48:37,000
Here's the stretch the one two pitch.

1872
02:48:37,000 --> 02:48:50,000
This outside two balls and two strikes.

1873
02:48:50,000 --> 02:48:54,000
This is Mitchell second appearance since joining the Brewers.

1874
02:48:54,000 --> 02:48:56,000
Ground ball they said right field.

1875
02:48:56,000 --> 02:49:01,000
Willie Wilson around second applies the brakes.

1876
02:49:01,000 --> 02:49:09,000
The trials have something cooking here to on nobody out that means action in the Milwaukee bullpen.

1877
02:49:09,000 --> 02:49:21,000
George Badberger the manager of the Brewers riding very purposefully toward the mound.

1878
02:49:21,000 --> 02:49:33,000
George has done quite a job with his Milwaukee team named by the sporting news as the major league manager of the year in 78.

1879
02:49:33,000 --> 02:49:52,000
The Brewers to third place in the Eastern Division with 93 wins trail the division winning and pennant winning and then World Series winning Yankees by six and a half.

1880
02:49:52,000 --> 02:50:05,000
Badger spent 10 years as pitching coach with the Baltimore Orioles and had 1820 game winner in 10 years.

1881
02:50:05,000 --> 02:50:08,000
He's going to leave Mitchell and the pitch to Amos.

1882
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:11,000
Amos two out of four a couple of singles.

1883
02:50:11,000 --> 02:50:15,000
You are nobody out 11 to six Milwaukee and there's a shot to center field.

1884
02:50:15,000 --> 02:50:25,000
Thomas though is there and he makes the catch that ball is hit on a line and then at the last moment it sort of dipped on Berman Thomas but he stayed right with it.

1885
02:50:25,000 --> 02:50:30,000
Otis lines hard to center.

1886
02:50:30,000 --> 02:50:42,000
Here's Al Collins Al is one out of four single his first time up facing Mitchell just once he applied to right field.

1887
02:50:42,000 --> 02:50:48,000
What's the shame of Otis gets that ball into left center right center the Royals really has something on the fire.

1888
02:50:48,000 --> 02:50:55,000
That's a big out that really halts your momentum you need five to tie.

1889
02:50:55,000 --> 02:51:07,000
The Royals could have used a break with regard to the location of that line drive but Thomas was playing Otis perfectly.

1890
02:51:07,000 --> 02:51:23,000
The third Scott will be next the Royals need two more runners to have a chance bounce foul wide of third no balls in a strike on Al Collins.

1891
02:51:23,000 --> 02:51:36,000
Eleven runs on 14 hits for the Brewers six runs on 14 hits for the Royals.

1892
02:51:36,000 --> 02:51:44,000
Wilson at second Jamie Clark at first Jamie two out of two since taking over behind the plate for Darrell Porter.

1893
02:51:44,000 --> 02:52:00,000
Why ball short left field Ogilvy is going to have to hurry they said Willie Wilson to third and the bases are loaded Ogilvy tried to decoy Willie then tried to act as if he was going to make the catch but Willie knew better.

1894
02:52:00,000 --> 02:52:10,000
George Scott he could pull the Royals to within one single run.

1895
02:52:10,000 --> 02:52:18,000
The Royals now have actually out hit the Brewers by one but still trail by five.

1896
02:52:18,000 --> 02:52:27,000
Scott is one out of four he's singled in the fourth why the deep center is first time at bat in a Royal uniform.

1897
02:52:27,000 --> 02:52:32,000
George Bamberger the manager the Brewers is now standing in the Milwaukee dugout.

1898
02:52:32,000 --> 02:52:44,000
This was a laugher for a while bouncing ball base hit the center Willie scores here comes Jamie quick to the plate Thomas throw to third and safe with Collins.

1899
02:52:44,000 --> 02:53:00,000
Eleven to eight and the time that is at the plate Jerry Carroll is coming up and so is manager George Bamberger and that's it for Mitchell.

1900
02:53:00,000 --> 02:53:02,000
Very interesting.

1901
02:53:02,000 --> 02:53:08,000
Pitching change being made the situation is runners at first and third still been one out.

1902
02:53:08,000 --> 02:53:12,000
We are in the top of the ninth and the score down Milwaukee 11 Royals eight.

1903
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:22,000
Let's take that time to check the scoreboard of the West Coast games in the National League those scores still at the two Chicago and San Diego Pittsburgh and Los Angeles three and a half bucks one.

1904
02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:37,000
And the Dodgers nothing St. Louis and San Francisco three and a half car goes one the Giants one big news there though is Willie McCovey is another home run game of the fourth nobody on his ninth of the year and his 514 career home run the cover your home run.

1905
02:53:37,000 --> 02:53:40,000
Nobody on the fourth for the giant.

1906
02:53:40,000 --> 02:53:58,000
Yeah the final scores in the American League California beat Detroit eight to seven Cleveland triumph over Seattle 13 to three to the Toronto Blake Oakland six nothing Chicago beat Boston eight to five and Baltimore has just one they held off Minnesota started put out the fire from the both end.

1907
02:53:58,000 --> 02:54:18,000
The twins scored one time in the whole night after the Orioles scored twice the top of the night Baltimore holds on to win six to five now by winning the Red Sox losing to Chicago eight to five the Orioles are now two games in front of the Boston Red Sox in the American League East Milwaukee

1908
02:54:18,000 --> 02:54:31,000
hoping to hold on to win this one if they do they'll still six back the Yankees have lost to Texas for the Yankees are seven and a half behind Baltimore Yankees 33 and 30 Orioles 40 and 22 Detroit's lost.

1909
02:54:31,000 --> 02:54:47,000
So they're eight and a half back Cleveland remains eight and a half Toronto 22 and a half in the West California is one so right now at the moment after Minnesota lost they are now four and a half in front of the twins.

1910
02:54:47,000 --> 02:54:51,000
The Michigan counties video Red Sheep Cleveland now pitching.

1911
02:54:51,000 --> 02:54:56,000
He's one and three with two saves this is his 17th appearance.

1912
02:54:56,000 --> 02:55:08,000
His average is 4.11 allowed 35 hits and 31 innings 12 strikeouts and nine walks

1913
02:55:08,000 --> 02:55:29,000
Cleveland now going to take over for Paul Mitchell people talk as grab the bat and he'll be hitting for Carol often follows people talk at Dodger Stadium tonight the pirates are leaving the Dodgers one to nothing the Dodgers are batting in the bottom of the fourth.

1914
02:55:29,000 --> 02:55:44,000
And McCovey has homered for the San Francisco Giants that came in the fourth inning with nobody on it was the 514 of his career is nice this season.

1915
02:55:44,000 --> 02:56:03,000
San Francisco on the Covey's home run is taking a two to one lead over the St. Louis Cardinals.

1916
02:56:03,000 --> 02:56:15,000
Baltimore six Minnesota for the twins are batting in the bottom of the night Baltimore got two in the top of the night.

1917
02:56:15,000 --> 02:56:34,000
Right hander Richard Cleveland about to work to people thought he did 771.

1918
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:54,000
Let's see how he is done against the Brewers this year.

1919
02:56:54,000 --> 02:56:56,000
He's still for nine.

1920
02:56:56,000 --> 02:57:05,000
With one RBI to run for.

1921
02:57:05,000 --> 02:57:08,000
He is in his last 15 at bat.

1922
02:57:08,000 --> 02:57:11,000
That is the first and third one out and a shot into left center field.

1923
02:57:11,000 --> 02:57:26,000
Over the is there makes the catch.

1924
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:37,000
Here's John Watson.

1925
02:57:37,000 --> 02:57:46,000
George Scott the runner at first two out of the top of the ninth eleven to nine Milwaukee.

1926
02:57:46,000 --> 02:57:50,000
The tying run at the Blake Redsheep Cleveland set at the belt.

1927
02:57:50,000 --> 02:57:53,000
The six to Duke hammered out and missed.

1928
02:57:53,000 --> 02:58:03,000
Cleveland has surrendered two home runs this year.

1929
02:58:03,000 --> 02:58:10,000
Two years ago and Watson in his first two big league homers one of them was hit right here in this ballpark.

1930
02:58:10,000 --> 02:58:21,000
The one pitch up to high one ball and one strike.

1931
02:58:21,000 --> 02:58:33,000
Now the stretch here's the pitch.

1932
02:58:33,000 --> 02:58:35,000
The breeze is blowing toward left.

1933
02:58:35,000 --> 02:58:58,000
Cleveland made a mistake and gave Watson something to fall.

1934
02:58:58,000 --> 02:59:17,000
That's right.

1935
02:59:17,000 --> 02:59:21,000
We have a score it's probably a base it.

1936
02:59:21,000 --> 02:59:26,000
No ruling.

1937
02:59:26,000 --> 02:59:33,000
The Royals trailed 11 to 2 after 4 innings. Now it's 11 to 9 and they have the tying run

1938
02:59:33,000 --> 02:59:36,000
at first. Lowen outside and got away from the catcher but no advance.

1939
02:59:42,000 --> 02:59:45,000
The Royals have 17 hits in this game.

1940
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:53,000
But they trailed by 2 with 2 out of the 9. Reggie Cleveland trying to nail down the win.

1941
02:59:53,000 --> 02:59:59,000
Here's the pitch. Line drive, base hit and a left field. George Scott around 3rd to score

1942
02:59:59,000 --> 03:00:04,000
and Waffen the tying run, stops at 2nd. 11 to 10 Milwaukee.

1943
03:00:06,000 --> 03:00:08,000
Frank White picks up his 13th RBI.

1944
03:00:08,000 --> 03:00:22,000
Here is UL Washington.

1945
03:00:26,000 --> 03:00:32,000
UL batting for the first time tonight. Batting average 254, 10 RBI.

1946
03:00:32,000 --> 03:00:37,000
He's a foot shooter, out comes George Bamberger.

1947
03:00:40,000 --> 03:00:46,000
Look back into this inning now and recall if you will the ball off the bat of Amos Otis.

1948
03:00:46,000 --> 03:00:52,000
The line shot right at Gorman Thomas. Remember I said oh if the ball had only been in the left center

1949
03:00:52,000 --> 03:00:59,000
or right center, well it wasn't. That's going to do it for Cleveland. The Brewers are going to make

1950
03:00:59,000 --> 03:01:04,000
the pitching change. Now the Royals have runners at 1st and 2nd. There are 2 outs.

1951
03:01:04,000 --> 03:01:08,000
And the score now Milwaukee 11 and the Royals 10.

1952
03:01:10,000 --> 03:01:14,000
Here's the final score. I'll give a report on this one from Bloomington, Minnesota.

1953
03:01:15,000 --> 03:01:21,000
Al Bumrey rips a 2 run triple with 2 outs in the 9th inning to pace the Baltimore Orioles

1954
03:01:21,000 --> 03:01:26,000
to a 6 to 5 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. Loser Mike Marshall now 8 and 6 making his

1955
03:01:26,000 --> 03:01:32,000
38th appearance, walk Doug DeSantis and pinch hitter Ture Klaue to set the stage for Bumrey

1956
03:01:32,000 --> 03:01:38,000
with a triple down the right field line to give reliever Don Stanhouse his 5th victory in 6 decisions.

1957
03:01:38,000 --> 03:01:45,000
Tim Stoddard retired the final 2 batters after an RBI single in the 9th by Butch Weineger

1958
03:01:45,000 --> 03:01:48,000
to record his 2nd save.

1959
03:01:48,000 --> 03:01:57,000
And the road to Moscow for American athletes. Open today at San Antonio College in Walnut, California.

1960
03:01:57,000 --> 03:02:04,000
More than 1300 Olympic hole pulls began competition, the national AAU Crack and Steal Championship.

1961
03:02:04,000 --> 03:02:09,000
The AAU meet is the first major stepping stone to the 1980 games in Moscow.

1962
03:02:09,000 --> 03:02:18,000
What is that?

1963
03:02:39,000 --> 03:02:43,000
The AAU has 10 runs, 18 hits and 1 error.

1964
03:02:43,000 --> 03:02:52,000
And Fred this may startle you but do you realize that the Royals have not received a single base on balls in this game?

1965
03:02:52,000 --> 03:02:59,000
Do you realize that of the 18 hits, the Royals have 17 singles?

1966
03:02:59,000 --> 03:03:03,000
And one home run, the home run the 3 run homer by Willie Wilson.

1967
03:03:03,000 --> 03:03:09,000
So they're just crying for the extra base hit, a double, a triple, a home run.

1968
03:03:09,000 --> 03:03:13,000
It's tough to do it when you just single, single, single the other team to death.

1969
03:03:13,000 --> 03:03:15,000
That's what they've done here in the 9th.

1970
03:03:15,000 --> 03:03:20,000
Willie Wilson started it, he's single, Ben Quirk's single, Otis Weinhardt is center,

1971
03:03:20,000 --> 03:03:27,000
Cowan's single, Scott's single, then a sacrifice fly,

1972
03:03:27,000 --> 03:03:37,000
John Watson an infield single, Frank White a single, and here is UL Washington batting for the first time.

1973
03:03:37,000 --> 03:03:47,000
The tying run at second, the lead run at first, the Royals trailed after 4 innings by the score of 11 to 2.

1974
03:03:47,000 --> 03:03:53,000
And now here in the top of the 9th with 2 on and 2 out, it is 11 to 10, Brewers.

1975
03:03:53,000 --> 03:03:57,000
Washington is in a switch hitter on the left side.

1976
03:04:02,000 --> 03:04:06,000
Bill Caps is still getting ready, here's the stretch and now he steps off the rubber.

1977
03:04:06,000 --> 03:04:19,000
We're ready to go, Watson at second, Frank White at first, here's the pitch, outside all run.

1978
03:04:26,000 --> 03:04:28,000
One ball and no strike.

1979
03:04:28,000 --> 03:04:33,000
A base hit to tie it, an extra base hit to give the Royals the lead.

1980
03:04:33,000 --> 03:04:39,000
Base hit left field, here comes Lawson, he's going to try to score, just go get him, safe.

1981
03:04:39,000 --> 03:04:42,000
The game is tied, I don't believe it.

1982
03:04:44,000 --> 03:04:49,000
UL Washington hits the Royals 18th single of the night.

1983
03:04:49,000 --> 03:04:53,000
And here's the man who started it, Willie Wilson.

1984
03:04:53,000 --> 03:05:04,000
A five run inning, it was 11 to 6 when this inning started.

1985
03:05:04,000 --> 03:05:08,000
And here is Willie Wilson.

1986
03:05:08,000 --> 03:05:13,000
Willie, 3 out of 5 tonight.

1987
03:05:13,000 --> 03:05:24,000
The Royals have risen from the ashes.

1988
03:05:24,000 --> 03:05:28,000
Washington first and second, here's the pitch.

1989
03:05:28,000 --> 03:05:30,000
Lying down the left field line, Ogilvy chasing it,

1990
03:05:30,000 --> 03:05:33,000
they have all went in the corner, White scores,

1991
03:05:33,000 --> 03:05:38,000
Washington is score, look at Willie, he's around second, he's on his way to third,

1992
03:05:38,000 --> 03:05:43,000
he's around fourth, here he comes, he is safe.

1993
03:05:45,000 --> 03:05:48,000
And inside the park home run.

1994
03:05:57,000 --> 03:05:59,000
Good Heaven.

1995
03:05:59,000 --> 03:06:06,000
I wish you could hear the crowd here at County Stadium.

1996
03:06:08,000 --> 03:06:11,000
They are just done.

1997
03:06:11,000 --> 03:06:15,000
And wide off, the Royals have 8 in the ninth,

1998
03:06:15,000 --> 03:06:18,000
Willie Wilson has his second home run of the game,

1999
03:06:18,000 --> 03:06:22,000
his fourth home run of the year, and his third inside the park home run,

2000
03:06:22,000 --> 03:06:25,000
a little slicing, looping drive down the left field line.

2001
03:06:25,000 --> 03:06:30,000
Jamie Clurton, ripped one into right center field, Garmin Thomas can't get it.

2002
03:06:30,000 --> 03:06:34,000
And it bounces into the stands, it will be a ground rule double.

2003
03:06:36,000 --> 03:06:39,000
Willie, don't wake me up just now, I'm having the most pleasant dream.

2004
03:06:39,000 --> 03:06:42,000
I was having a nightmare a while ago and I've got that sort of down,

2005
03:06:42,000 --> 03:06:47,000
I'm having this real good dream, so don't disturb me for a while.

2006
03:06:47,000 --> 03:06:48,000
I don't believe it.

2007
03:06:48,000 --> 03:06:52,000
I'll tell you Fred, the nightmare right now belongs to

2008
03:06:52,000 --> 03:06:55,000
the Milwaukee Brewers manager George Bamford.

2009
03:06:55,000 --> 03:06:59,000
Paul Mitchell, in relief of Mike Caldwell,

2010
03:06:59,000 --> 03:07:04,000
failed into this inning having retired 6 straight men and 2 innings at work.

2011
03:07:06,000 --> 03:07:11,000
And all of a sudden you talk about everything collapsing around you.

2012
03:07:11,000 --> 03:07:13,000
His name is Otis.

2013
03:07:15,000 --> 03:07:18,000
There's a Willie Wilson, has 6 RBI's in his game now.

2014
03:07:18,000 --> 03:07:21,000
Two singles, two home runs.

2015
03:07:32,000 --> 03:07:34,000
Amos Otis, right hand batter.

2016
03:07:35,000 --> 03:07:36,000
Here's the pitch.

2017
03:07:37,000 --> 03:07:39,000
Going outside, ball one.

2018
03:07:39,000 --> 03:07:41,000
Amos, 2 out of 5.

2019
03:07:41,000 --> 03:07:47,000
He is one of only two men to make out here in the inning.

2020
03:07:47,000 --> 03:07:50,000
And he hit a line shot right at center fielder, Gorman Thomas.

2021
03:07:50,000 --> 03:07:53,000
The other out was the sacrifice fly off the bat of LaTocque.

2022
03:07:53,000 --> 03:07:55,000
Breaking ball for a strike.

2023
03:07:55,000 --> 03:07:58,000
14 to 11 Royals, 21 hits.

2024
03:07:58,000 --> 03:08:10,000
The Royals have affected some tremendous comebacks in just the last 2 weeks.

2025
03:08:10,000 --> 03:08:13,000
Amos is swinging a miss.

2026
03:08:13,000 --> 03:08:18,000
And this one, with Darrell Porter and George Brett out of the lineup.

2027
03:08:18,000 --> 03:08:24,000
The Royals trailed remember, by the score of 11 to 2.

2028
03:08:24,000 --> 03:08:28,000
It is now Royals 14, Brewers 11.

2029
03:08:35,000 --> 03:08:38,000
Brett and Porter left after 5 innings.

2030
03:08:39,000 --> 03:08:41,000
One ball, two strikes on Otis.

2031
03:08:41,000 --> 03:08:42,000
Jamie Quirk had second.

2032
03:08:42,000 --> 03:08:45,000
Jamie is 3 out of 3 since coming in.

2033
03:08:45,000 --> 03:08:54,000
Otis takes a little bit outside.

2034
03:08:54,000 --> 03:09:00,000
An incredible comeback.

2035
03:09:00,000 --> 03:09:02,000
Here's the pitch.

2036
03:09:02,000 --> 03:09:06,000
Line shot center fielder, Thomas makes the catch.

2037
03:09:06,000 --> 03:09:10,000
Otis made 2 of the 3 outs and both were line shots to center fielder.

2038
03:09:10,000 --> 03:09:12,000
What an inning.

2039
03:09:12,000 --> 03:09:16,000
8 runs, 9 hits.

2040
03:09:16,000 --> 03:09:19,000
There were no errors.

2041
03:09:19,000 --> 03:09:21,000
There was a man left.

2042
03:09:21,000 --> 03:09:28,000
And we go to the bottom of the ninth and score the Royals 14 to Milwaukee 11.

2043
03:09:28,000 --> 03:09:30,000
Well the Orioles are very happy about this.

2044
03:09:30,000 --> 03:09:37,000
They have already won in the ninth inning against their opponents.

2045
03:09:37,000 --> 03:09:40,000
They defeated Minnesota.

2046
03:09:40,000 --> 03:09:42,000
The Red Sox lost.

2047
03:09:42,000 --> 03:09:45,000
They lost to the Chicago White Sox 8 to 5.

2048
03:09:45,000 --> 03:09:48,000
So this would put the Brewers 7 back.

2049
03:09:48,000 --> 03:09:51,000
The Orioles and the American League East, the Yankees have already lost.

2050
03:09:51,000 --> 03:09:52,000
They're 7 and a half.

2051
03:09:52,000 --> 03:09:54,000
They pick up another game with the Tigers who are 8 and a half.

2052
03:09:54,000 --> 03:09:56,000
They've worked out pretty well.

2053
03:09:56,000 --> 03:10:00,000
If Kansas City can hold off Milwaukee the whole night.

2054
03:10:00,000 --> 03:10:05,000
But a game like this with scores more like football, anything again could happen.

2055
03:10:05,000 --> 03:10:07,000
Let's check some more scores.

2056
03:10:07,000 --> 03:10:10,000
All the other games in the American League are over.

2057
03:10:10,000 --> 03:10:12,000
National League after 4 and a half.

2058
03:10:12,000 --> 03:10:14,000
San Francisco leads St. Louis 2 to 1.

2059
03:10:14,000 --> 03:10:16,000
After 4, Pittsburgh 1, Los Angeles nothing.

2060
03:10:16,000 --> 03:10:20,000
And after 3 and a half, no score between Chicago and San Diego.

2061
03:10:20,000 --> 03:10:24,000
But Briggs has done a home run for the Pond Rays in the fourth one on his fifth of the year.

2062
03:10:24,000 --> 03:10:28,000
So San Diego leads in the home four still batting by at least 2-0.

2063
03:10:28,000 --> 03:10:31,000
More on the trade we mentioned earlier between the Yankees and Pond Rays.

2064
03:10:31,000 --> 03:10:34,000
New York traded veteran outfielder Jay Johnstone.

2065
03:10:34,000 --> 03:10:36,000
San Diego leads in the home four still batting by at least 2-0.

2066
03:10:36,000 --> 03:10:41,000
San Diego Pond Rays for minor league right-hander Dave Warmeister.

2067
03:10:41,000 --> 03:10:46,000
In position, the Yankees dealt catcher D.H. Cliff Johnson to Cleveland for reliever Don Hood.

2068
03:10:46,000 --> 03:10:51,000
Johnson, a backup catcher, tangled with Rich Gossage in a clubhouse incident in mid-April.

2069
03:10:51,000 --> 03:10:53,000
And left Gossage with an injured hand.

2070
03:10:53,000 --> 03:10:59,000
Gossage ran a 2.01 earn run average in 63 appearances with 27 saves last year.

2071
03:10:59,000 --> 03:11:06,000
Has been on the disabled list since.

2072
03:11:06,000 --> 03:11:10,000
We go to the bottom of the ninth, 14-11 in favor of the Royals.

2073
03:11:10,000 --> 03:11:14,000
The Royals got eight runs in the top of the ninth.

2074
03:11:14,000 --> 03:11:19,000
Marty Patton, a former Brewer, will be the new pitcher.

2075
03:11:19,000 --> 03:11:23,000
Jamie Clerk is catching. He has been for four innings now.

2076
03:11:23,000 --> 03:11:28,000
George Scott, who's been playing at first, will play third.

2077
03:11:28,000 --> 03:11:35,000
He has played third. In fact, when he came up to the Boston Red Sox, he did play third base.

2078
03:11:35,000 --> 03:11:40,000
Pete LeCocque is at first. Washington is short. White is second.

2079
03:11:40,000 --> 03:11:47,000
The outfield remains Wilson in left. Otis in center. Collins in right.

2080
03:11:47,000 --> 03:11:57,000
The Royals, I just think it's incredible, have not received one single base on balls in this game.

2081
03:11:57,000 --> 03:12:03,000
So they have had to manufacture their 14 runs with 21 hits.

2082
03:12:03,000 --> 03:12:07,000
The Brewers have made one error, but that's giving very little away.

2083
03:12:07,000 --> 03:12:14,000
Listen to this. The Royals have 18 singles, one double and two home runs.

2084
03:12:14,000 --> 03:12:21,000
And the two home runs, both hit by Willie Wilson, both three run home runs.

2085
03:12:21,000 --> 03:12:28,000
The first one left the stadium at the left field wall, his first outside the park home run.

2086
03:12:28,000 --> 03:12:35,000
And then his 10th inning home run was an inside the park home run, a little flare down the left field line,

2087
03:12:35,000 --> 03:12:38,000
which rolled away from Polkhovic in the corner.

2088
03:12:38,000 --> 03:12:41,000
And I wish you could have seen Willie Wilson circling the bases.

2089
03:12:41,000 --> 03:12:49,000
You know, we thought he went around the bases fast when he hit that inside the park home run against the Yankees last Saturday afternoon.

2090
03:12:49,000 --> 03:13:00,000
Well, he did. But you should have seen him go around the bases on this one tonight.

2091
03:13:00,000 --> 03:13:04,000
Well, it ain't over yet. We know that, don't we?

2092
03:13:04,000 --> 03:13:10,000
Fourteen to 11 Royals, Marty Patton, will face the top of the batting order.

2093
03:13:10,000 --> 03:13:16,000
And that means Molitor, who's four out of five, Cecil Cooper, who's two out of five,

2094
03:13:16,000 --> 03:13:24,000
and Sal Bando, who's two out of four with a three run over.

2095
03:13:24,000 --> 03:13:28,000
I don't think I mentioned the fact that Willie gets Kelly Gitt certificate.

2096
03:13:28,000 --> 03:13:32,000
You knew that.

2097
03:13:32,000 --> 03:13:36,000
He gets it twice tonight.

2098
03:13:36,000 --> 03:13:46,000
Here we go, Marty Patton pitches. Molitor takes a breaking ball first strike.

2099
03:13:46,000 --> 03:13:52,000
Most of the fans departed in the eighth inning.

2100
03:13:52,000 --> 03:13:58,000
Here's the pitch. But it's followed by Molitor. They're trying to take advantage of George Scott.

2101
03:13:58,000 --> 03:14:07,000
The big count now is O and two. Scott at third, LaCocca at first, Jamie Clark the catcher.

2102
03:14:07,000 --> 03:14:14,000
The Brewers have had just two hits since the fourth inning.

2103
03:14:14,000 --> 03:14:19,000
They got three runs in the first, one in the second, two in the third, five in the fourth,

2104
03:14:19,000 --> 03:14:22,000
and they thought left the Royals for dead.

2105
03:14:22,000 --> 03:14:27,000
Fly ball, right field, Al Collins can't find it. Now he makes the catch.

2106
03:14:27,000 --> 03:14:32,000
Having problems with the light.

2107
03:14:32,000 --> 03:14:39,000
And finally he found the ball and made the catch.

2108
03:14:39,000 --> 03:14:46,000
What a way here's Cecil Cooper.

2109
03:14:46,000 --> 03:14:58,000
He's in the five, he's strangled in the first and again in the sixth.

2110
03:14:58,000 --> 03:15:04,000
Signal given by Jamie Clark. Marty nods yes, in the motion, here's the pitch.

2111
03:15:04,000 --> 03:15:13,000
Breaking stuff is low, one ball no strike.

2112
03:15:13,000 --> 03:15:18,000
Don't forget the job done by Stephen Gorey.

2113
03:15:18,000 --> 03:15:21,000
Outside corner well drawn, one and one.

2114
03:15:21,000 --> 03:15:26,000
Mingo worked his seventh and eighth innings allowing no hits, no runs, just one base runner.

2115
03:15:26,000 --> 03:15:31,000
The Royals made two good plays back of him in the eighth, one by Todd Cruz, the one by Washington,

2116
03:15:31,000 --> 03:15:34,000
the other by Collins. Here's the one-one pitch.

2117
03:15:34,000 --> 03:15:37,000
But out in front of the plate, Jamie Clark up with the ball to the floor.

2118
03:15:37,000 --> 03:15:42,000
It's in time, well done by James.

2119
03:15:42,000 --> 03:15:48,000
And that is not an easy play.

2120
03:15:48,000 --> 03:15:55,000
Jamie Clark is not at all used to that catcher's glove.

2121
03:15:55,000 --> 03:15:58,000
And he made a fine throw to Pete LeCocque.

2122
03:15:58,000 --> 03:16:01,000
Cooper can run and he was batting from the left side.

2123
03:16:01,000 --> 03:16:11,000
Here's Bando, he's two out of four, a three run homer in the first.

2124
03:16:11,000 --> 03:16:21,000
And he's batting, breaking ball, strike, going one to Bando.

2125
03:16:21,000 --> 03:16:25,000
Signal given, here's the one pitch.

2126
03:16:25,000 --> 03:16:30,000
Inside corner with a slider, strike two, it's nothing and do.

2127
03:16:30,000 --> 03:16:38,000
Remember how the Royals shot the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night when they scored the tying run,

2128
03:16:38,000 --> 03:16:44,000
a home run by Braun. There's a drive in the right center field, Collins to his right calling for it.

2129
03:16:44,000 --> 03:16:49,000
And the Royals have incredibly won the game, an incredible victory.

2130
03:16:49,000 --> 03:16:57,000
They trailed after four, 11 to two, they win 14 to 11, they score eight in the ninth.

2131
03:16:57,000 --> 03:17:03,000
They did it without Brett and Porter who were removed from the game after five innings.

2132
03:17:03,000 --> 03:17:09,000
And the Royals needless to say, a giddy bunch. I was going to say happy.

2133
03:17:09,000 --> 03:17:13,000
They're happy but they have to be almost giddy as they go to the clubhouse.

2134
03:17:13,000 --> 03:17:18,000
Final score again, Royals 14, Milwaukee 11 back in a minute.

2135
03:17:18,000 --> 03:17:27,000
Let's check the West Coast games now. They're almost caught up with us in the national league after five innings now.

2136
03:17:27,000 --> 03:17:37,000
Pirates lead the Dodgers one to nothing, four and a half, San Diego two and Chicago nothing.

2137
03:17:37,000 --> 03:17:43,000
The other game on the West Coast, St. Louis and San Francisco four and a half, the Giants ahead of St. Louis two to one again.

2138
03:17:43,000 --> 03:17:51,000
Willie McCovey has hit his 514th career home run. It came in the fourth, nobody on his ninth of the year.

2139
03:17:51,000 --> 03:18:00,000
Rounding them up again in the national league, the finals, Houston two, Montreal one, the New York Mets beat Atlanta by a score of two to one.

2140
03:18:00,000 --> 03:18:11,000
It was 1996, Philadelphia three in the American league, Chicago beat Boston eight to five, Baltimore six, Minnesota five, Texas outscored the New York Yankees nine to five.

2141
03:18:11,000 --> 03:18:20,000
Home runs of the game, Oliver, Texas fifth one on his ninth of the year, Panella Yankees eight one on his seventh of the season.

2142
03:18:20,000 --> 03:18:34,000
Seattle blank Oakland six to nothing, Cleveland defeated Seattle 13 to three and California knows that Detroit eight to seven, second straight loss in as many tries for the then-goes new skipper, Sparky Anderson.

2143
03:18:34,000 --> 03:18:44,000
And this game of course, the heartbreaker for the home team, Milwaukee after leading 11 to two after four innings of play were beaten by three, 14 to 11.

2144
03:18:44,000 --> 03:18:53,000
Let's go back for a minute or so for the wrap up as we return to County Stadium, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

2145
03:18:53,000 --> 03:19:00,000
You may watch a lot more baseball before you see an incredible comeback like the one tonight.

2146
03:19:00,000 --> 03:19:06,000
Just a miraculous, incredible, you think of a lot of adjie gives that you might apply to it.

2147
03:19:06,000 --> 03:19:15,000
All in all, eight runs in the night that up to a 14 to 11 victory, the Royals failed as we said after four with a score of 11 to two.

2148
03:19:15,000 --> 03:19:20,000
And the Brewers that left them for dead rise from the ashes they did.

2149
03:19:20,000 --> 03:19:27,000
The Brewers weren't the only ones that left them for dead. I'm sitting here, I've seen it, I believe it but I haven't even begun to think any of that.

2150
03:19:27,000 --> 03:19:32,000
It's everything that you said it was, boy a couple of thoughts about this ball clip.

2151
03:19:32,000 --> 03:19:37,000
First of all about their integrity and their courage. It's been so easy to quit tonight.

2152
03:19:37,000 --> 03:19:41,000
I've read those letters to the editor and I've heard those phone calls with the station complaining about the Royals.

2153
03:19:41,000 --> 03:19:44,000
I really don't care to read or hear any more about them right now.

2154
03:19:44,000 --> 03:20:13,000
And nobody knows what's going to happen from this point on but if there is to be a turning point in the season the Royals have been kind of lolling along.
