Well, it finally happened. The present calendar year caught up with the 1984 schedule. Happy April 15th, everyone!
Game #118 - Baltimore Orioles, 2 @ Cleveland Indians, 4
Baltimore grabbed the early lead in the first when Ken Singleton hit a sacrifice fly to score Gary Roenicke, and Eddie Murray added a solo homer in the third to make it 2-0. But Storm Davis had a bizarre bottom of the third when he allowed four runs to score. He finished the game for Baltimore and only allowed two hits after that, but the damage was done. Neal Heaton, starting for Cleveland, spread twelve hits over 7 2/3 innings for the win.

Game #119 - Milwaukee Brewers, 4 @ Kansas City Royals, 5
The Royals had a 1-0 lead when a UL Washington error in the top of the fifth led to four unearned runs off of Charlie Leibrandt. Two of those runs came on a Robin Yount double. Frank White hit a RBI double in the bottom half of the inning to cut the lead to 4-2. Bob McClure had been pitching a great game for Milwaukee, but in the bottom of the seventh it all fell apart. UL Washington redeemed himself by doubling. Two batters later White doubled again to bring home Washington. George Brett walked and Hal McRae doubled home White while advancing Brett to third base. McClure was finally pulled and reliever Tom Tellmann induced a ground ball to Paul Molitor, but Molitor muffed it, allowing Brett to score the winning run.
