Sorry for the two months off, everyone! During that time we had a major kitchen renovation to repair a slab leak and the table and area of the house I use to play my Statis Pro games became swamped with kitchen appliances during the upheaval.
Let's catch up with this game in the top of the fourth. The Dodgers had a 3-2 lead when Steve Yeager went yard with Greg Brock on base ahead of him, giving L.A. a three-run lead. But Houston came roaring back in the bottom of the fifth. Dodgers starter Jerry Reuss allowed four straight batters to reach base, including an RBI double by Jim Pankovits and an RBI triple by Bill Doran.
The Dodgers managed to tie the game in the seventh after Terry Whitfield doubled home Pedro Guerrero. But reliever Pat Zachry allowed two unearned runs in the seventh after a Mike Marshall fielding gaff. Frank DiPino pitched two scoreless innings to notch the save.

Player of the Game - Bill Doran, 4-4, 3B, BB, RBI, 2Rs
The Royals continued their climb towards first place in the AL West after a drubbing of the Twins. Minnesota actually scored first, though, in the top of the fifth. Consecutive fielding errors by George Brett resulted in two unearned runs. But in the bottom half of the inning U.L. Washington singled home Pat Sheridan before back to back triples by Willie Wilson and George Brett gave K.C. the lead. The Royals would tack on four more runs over the last third of the game to give them an easy win.
The Twins saw Kirby Puckett go down for 14 games after he dove for a ball and couldn't come up with it.
