The first place Angels traveled to the Bronx in hopes of furthering their lead over the rest of the AL West. But New York was ready to defend the house that Ruth built. In the bottom of the second Butch Wynegar doubled and was brought home by a Roy Smalley single. Smalley moved to second when outfielder Juan Beniquez bobbled the ball. That allowed a Tim Foli hit to score Smalley too. Don Baylor added a RBI double in the third to extend the Yankees lead to 3-0. Rob Picciolo countered with a solo homer in the top of the seventh, but that was all the offense California could muster because Ron Guidry was filthy. He pitched into the seventh and struck out eight on his way to another victory on the season. Jay Howell and Dave Righetti were strong in closing the game out.

Game #476 - Chicago White Sox, 6 @ Toronto Blue Jays, 8
This was a fun one!
Doyle Alexander was pitching for Toronto, and he's been the leading candidate for Cy Young since the season started. Britt Burns had the ball for Chicago, and let's be honest, he's no Doyle Alexander. Cliff Johnson hit an RBI single in the third to plate Damaso Garcia, who has been hitting everything lately. He added an RBI in the next inning and all of a sudden Toronto was up 3-0.
By the sixth inning it was 5-0, thanks in part to a Jorge Bell blast. In the top of the eighth, though, the White Sox had enough. Three straight hits, including an RBI double by Jerry Hairston, chased Alexander out of the game. With two on reliever Roy Lee Jackson walked Greg Luzinski to load the bases for Greg Walker. And that's when Walker went to the deli and ordered a GRAND SALAMI!!! Game tied, 5-5!!! The next batter was Ron Kittle. KITTLE PARKED ONE TOO!!! Chicago was in the lead, 6-5!
In the bottom of the inning Chicago brought in Juan Agosto, a fine lefty reliever. But Agosto walked Damaso Garcia and the Lloyd Moseby tripled him home! Game tied!!! Jorge Bell was up after that, and the White Sox called in Ron Reed. It didn't matter, because Toronto rang their Bell for a second time in the game - TWO RUN HOMER!!! Ron Musselman retired the side in the top of the ninth for the save, though the Blue Jays lost Alfredo Griffin for a second time this season, as he went on the DL for fourteen games. It looks like Griffin won't be able to play in as many games in Statis Pro as he did in the real 1984.
Winning Pitcher - Jim Acker
Losing Pitcher - Juan Agosto
Save - Ron Musselman
Player of the Game - Jorge Bell, 2-5, 2HR's, 3RBI's
