George Brett spent the last twenty games on the disabled list, so it was a lot of fun to have him back in the KC lineup. He responded by being the typical George Brett; he went 2-4 with a double. But the Rangers recorded six straight hits in the bottom of the first, mostly off Charlie Liebrandt's pitcher card or infield hits, and those dinks and dunks led to a five run deficit the Royals never recovered from.
Frank Tanana mowed down the depleted Royals offense. Though Brett is back they still have several of their stars on the DL. Tanana lasted eight innings and only gave up one run while striking out three. He had to work extra hard, too, because the Texas infield committed three errors in the game.
