GAME 1 - County Stadium
Leibrandt vs Sorensen
Brewers 2, Royals 1

GAME 2
Leonard vs Caldwell
Royals 5, Brewers 2
KC's Dennis Leonard nursed a 1 run lead until the top of the 8th when the Royals scored 2 insurance runs, which were very much needed. The first 4 hitters in the Royals lineup combined to go 9-19 with George Brett and Steve Balboni both getting 2 RBI's. Mike Caldwell had an off day for the Brew Crew, but still managed to eat up 8 innings. Bye Bye Balboni hit his first homer of the season.
GAME 3 - Royals Stadium
Travers vs D.Jackson
Brewers 3, Royals 2 (11 inn)

GAME 4
Augustine vs Gubicza
Brewers 5, Royals 3 (11 inn)
For the second day in a row it took 11 innings to get a finite decsion. After both teams went scoreless over the final 5 frames of regulation and the 10th inning the Brewers scored 2 runs in the top of the 11th. Dave May, who subbed for the injured Ben Oglive, went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, including one in the 11th to score Larry Hisle. Don Money's RBI single gave reliever Bill Castro a nice buffer to earn his first save of the season.
