1985 MLB Season Replay (SOM Style)

[Breeze]

General Notes:

The 1985 season replay is ready to roll. A few notes before we get started:

- I am not trying to do an "As Played" simulation, in fact I can't. The 1985 season disk i have doesn't have every player that participated so there are quite a few gaps that have to be filled.

- I have tried to limit over-usage as much as i can, and especially where limited sample size players could have a significant impact on results if allowed to spam the league. However, like the note mentioned above - that doesn't mean some players won't get more playing time and those players could impact the overall results

- Some teams are going to be very limited in some areas, commonly the bullpen. Because so many teams in 1985 allowed starters to pitch in relief, the number of arms available in the pen is often small. This is a problem because by scheduling all the rotations for the season there is no way for the game to know to "protect" a pitcher because they have a start coming up. This means I effectively have to set the pitcher to not be allowed to relieve, which in turn cuts the number of arms available in the pen down. So if you see some bullpen pitchers with high inning totals, that is probably why.

- I loaded the schedule from retrosheet so it is the real one that was used.

- I don't do all-star games in the middle of the season, I do them at the end and I make it a best of 7 series, there is a mid season break though.

- I have injuries turned on, but to the best of my recollection, the game only does up to 15 games.

- I'm using max rules - Weather, Clutch, Pitch Fatigue, etc.

- I've run several test seasons to insure i don't have any severe usage problems, and based on results i would be surprised if all 4 of the real division winners come out on top in this replay. In fact, all 4 have lost multiple times in my test runs.

- I am not planning to get actively involved in the games. The plan is for the games to auto-play. Any adjustments I might make would be in changing the team set up configuration, or picking a spot starter in the event of an injury.

If you have any questions let me know...

didn't give up much, just 2 hits and 2 walks in 9 innings. Neither team
managed to score after the 4th inning.

The losing pitcher was Scott McGregor(0-1). 'I've been working on a few
things in my delivery, and I think I'm hitting a good groove.' Hough said

won in dramatic fashion over the New York Yankees by a score of 14 to 12 at
FENWAY PARK.

Boston won the game with a rally in the 9th inning when they tallied 4 runs on
3 hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Dwight Evans who brought a roar
from the partisan FENWAY PARK fans when he cracked a two-run shot (his 1st of
the season). Despite losing, New York out-hit Boston 18 to 14.

Mark Clear(1-0) got the win allowing 2 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Dave
Righetti(0-1) was given the loss in relief. He allowed 2 hits and 1 walk in

Morris(1-0) gave a fine effort for Detroit. He allowed 7 hits and 3 walks in
7 and 2/3 innings. Willie Hernandez was perfect in relief and got the save,
his 1st.

Jamie Easterly(0-1) was the loser in relief. Morris was jubilant in the
hometown clubhouse, 'It was a lot of fun out there. The fans gave me a lot
of support as did my teammates. We got the victory and I'll sure take 10

General Update

With just the one game in the NL on 4/1, I didn't see a need to post the newspaper style updates.

This is basically how I was planning to post results, as if you were reading them in the paper on a daily basis. I wasn't planning to post box scores from every team/every game - that would be a bit much. I was also planning to do a "game of the week" (or maybe more frequently), where you will get the write up like the one for the Expos v Reds above. I'm planning to get caught up with the real date today and then roll through the schedule 1 day at a time. If you have any suggestions or requests let me know and I'll see what I can do.

right out of the barrel
So San Diego leads 2 to zip
as Atlanta comes to bat

Swing and a miss
Struck him out
Number 1 on the season for Dravecky

Toronto wins 5 to 2
Clancy gets credit for the win
Henke notches the save
Hooton takes the loss
The hitting star for Toronto
was Lloyd Moseby
He was 2 for 4 with a homerun
And that wraps things up
So long from Toronto.

FULTON CTY STADIUM as the Atlanta Braves beat the Cincinnati Reds by the
count of 6 to 1.

Atlanta started with a bang, jumping out to an early lead in their half of the
first when they tallied 4 runs on 5 hits. That early scoring was all that

team was able to score again.

John Stuper(0-1) was the loser. He allowed 5 hits and 1 walk in 2/3 of an
inning.

down the rally.

allowing 1 run. Lee Smith recorded his 1st save. The loss was charged to
Shane Rawley(1-1). He gave up 8 hits and 5 walks in 6 innings.

One run was the difference at THREE RIVERS STADIUM as the New York Mets
defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 4 to 3.

New York tallied 3 runs in the top of the 2nd inning. Howard Johnson led off
and started the attack as he laced a base-knock. Wally Backman got his
chance to keep things going, but he went down on strikes. Kelvin Chapman was
a strikeout victim, unable to help out. Ed Lynch was up next and he reached
on an error. Mookie Wilson came to the plate and lost the ball over the
fence for three runs (his 3rd of the season). That was all the offense they
were to need. Pittsburgh made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable
to push the needed runs across.

Lynch(1-0) went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Roger McDowell
was credited with his 1st save. Jose Deleon(0-1) took the loss. He
surrendered 4 runs and 4 hits in 7 innings.

roughshod over the seemingly hapless Montreal Expos. The St. Louis offense
rolled up a total of 10 runs!.

St. Louis jumped on top to stay in the 2nd inning as they scored 3 runs on 4
base hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Danny Cox(1-0) and
St. Louis. That was all the run support Cox required. St. Louis had 16 hits
overall, while Montreal had 4.

Bill Gullickson(0-1) was given the loss. His ERA ballooned from 2.70 to 4.97
as he allowed 5 runs in 6 innings.

6,055 fans were treated to a fine game at MUNICIPAL STADIUM as only one run

runs in the 4th inning and won by the slimmest of margins, 8 to 7.

Cleveland tallied 5 runs in the bottom of the 4th inning when they had 3 base
hits. The key offensive moment was provided by Joe Carter who electrified
MUNICIPAL STADIUM when he lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 1st of the
season). Baltimore had a chance in the 9th but they came up short.

The victory went to Curt Wardle(1-1) who went 8 and 1/3 innings, allowing 6
runs. Tom Waddell was credited with his 1st save. Ken Dixon(0-2) was given
the loss in relief. He pitched 5 and 2/3 innings allowing 5 hits and 2

Rice enjoyed a big day at the plate. He lifted one out of the park for a two
run home run in the 1st inning, hit a bases-empty home run (his 3rd of the
season) in the 4th inning and laced a one-base hit in the 6th inning. Boston
bats were hot in the 7th inning when they had 4 runs on 6 hits. The Boston
offense poured it on, scoring in 7 of the 9 innings.

game.

three runs in the 3rd inning and cracked a two-run shot (his 5th of the
season) in the 6th inning. Toronto dominated offensively as they scored in 6
different innings.

Dave Stieb(3-0) picked up the victory, allowing 3 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings.
Jeff Russell(0-1) absorbed the loss. He allowed Toronto 6 runs in 4 and 2/3
innings of work.

Toronto continued their winning ways, with their streak now at 9 games and
counting. Bobby Cox was in a talkative mood after the ballgame. 'Fellows, I
don't know what to tell you. our guys are just playing lights out lately.
Everything and everybody is just really hitting on all cylinders. I know it
can't last forever - but that isn't going to stop us from trying!'

the Cincinnati Reds by a score of 4 to 3 at RIVERFRONT STADIUM.

San Francisco had 3 runs cross the plate in the top of the 6th inning with the
help of 3 hits. The crucial at-bat was provided by Jeff Leonard who silenced
the crowd when he belted a three-run homer (his 1st of the season). San
Francisco took care of Cincinnati with no trouble in the bottom of the 9th.

Atlee Hammaker(2-0) got credit for the victory, pitching 6 innings and
allowing 2 runs. Mark Davis earned his 4th save. Jay Tibbs(0-2) was tagged

The Los Angeles Dodgers nipped the San Diego Padres 2 to 1 at JACK MURPHY
STADIUM in a hard fought contest.

The game was decided in the top of the 9th inning. After two outs Bill
Madlock lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his 2nd of the season). Los Angeles
had only 5 hits for the afternoon.

Tom Niedenfuer(3-0) allowed no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings, and picked up the

Hubie Brooks had 2 base hits at BUSCH STADIUM as the Montreal Expos came back
dramatically to top the St. Louis Cardinals by the score of 7 to 5.

Montreal had the winning rally in the 9th inning with 3 runs utilizing 4 base
hits. Brooks led off and keyed the rally when he lined a one-base hit.
Terry Francona stepped up to the plate and he slapped a single. Mitch
Webster then lined a single knocking in a run. Webster took second on the
throw. Mike Fitzgerald got his turn next, but he was a strikeout victim.
Jim Wohlford was the next batter, but he struck out. Tim Raines added to the
outburst and was walked intentionally to load the bases. Vance Law came next
and he lined a base-hit which was good for two more runs. Law took second on
the throw. A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the lead change 6 times.

The win was credited to Floyd Youmans(1-0) who went 2 innings allowing 2 runs.
Jeff Reardon recorded his 4th save. The losing pitcher was Ricky Horton(0-2)
in relief. He surrendered 3 runs and 4 hits in 2/3 of an inning.

Whitey Herzog was not very talkative after his team's tough loss. 'I'm not in
the mood for questions, but I'm sure Buck Rodgers will be glad to talk about
the game as long as you have questions to ask.'

easier to take the occasional blow-out loss. It is the ones that just barely
get away that hurt so much - like this one!'

It was the 2nd shutout of the year for Key(2-0). The loss was charged to
Dickie Noles(1-1). Despite the loss, he struckout 8 Toronto batters in 5 and

Bobby Valentine was obviously impressed with the pitching of Key, 'That guy
made us look a little silly out there this afternoon. We just couldn't get

kinda performance out of his system.'

Derrel Thomas slammed 2 homeruns at VETERANS STADIUM as the Philadelphia
Phillies won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Montreal Expos in 10
innings by the count of 9 to 5.

Both teams were tied at 4 runs apiece after nine innings. Philadelphia came
out the victor in the 10th inning. The key at-bat was by Thomas who made the
Philadelphia fans a happy lot when he emptied the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun (his 2nd of the season). A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the
lead change 5 times.

Don Carman(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 2/3 of an inning. Gary
Lucas(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief. He pitched 1/3 of an inning
allowing 2 hits and no walks.

'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Thomas said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you
out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'

25,670 fans were treated to a fine game at BUSCH STADIUM as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end. The St. Louis Cardinals won by the
slimmest of margins, 8 to 7.

St. Louis jumped out to the early lead in the first inning when they scored 2
runs on 1 hit. The crucial at-bat was provided by Tom Nieto who came through
for the home fans when he tripled which was good for two runs. The Los
Angeles bats were silent in the 9th.

The win went to Joaquin Andujar(4-0) who allowed 3 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings.
Andujar got help from Bill Campbell who earned his 1st save. The losing
pitcher was Fernando Valenzuela(3-1). He struggled with his control issuing
7 walks in 4 innings.

'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Whitey Herzog said after the game. 'Andujar did not have
command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew
how to pitch!'

for three runs (his 6th of the season) in the 3rd inning, stroked a single in
the 5th inning and laced a one-base hit in the 6th inning. Boston bats were

over the Texas Rangers by the count of 7 to 6.

New York came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning with 3 runs
utilizing 2 base hits. After an out was recorded, Andre Robertson started
the rally when he drew a walk. Don Mattingly came next and he slapped a
base-hit. Dave Winfield then belted a three-run homer (his 3rd of the
season). The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5 times.

The victory was credited to Rich Bordi(2-0) who went 4 innings, allowing 2
runs. Dave Schmidt(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief. He was knocked
around pretty good, giving up 3 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.

After the game, it took a long while before Bobby Valentine emerged from his
office. In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions. He
concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood this
afternoon, as I think you'll understand. I'm sure you'll find the banter a
lot more light-hearted over in the New York locker room.'

singled. Mike Brown followed and he doubled. Ruppert Jones then laced a
single resulting in a mighty exciting win for California and the 45,007 home
town fans in attendance. This was the kind of game that many fans love as

runs. Bob Gibson(0-4) absorbed the loss in relief. The California ballclub's

threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.

Burt Hooton(2-2) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. Neal

Kind of crazy to see Carlos Diaz with 6 decision (and 4 wins) in 26 games coming out of the bullpen. He's on pace for a 36 win season!

So...confession time. I've played a lot of Strat, and there are always some strange outcomes, and that's what makes it interesting. However, in my play testing of this season, there were A LOT of strange outcomes, and most are on the pitching side. I expect we'll end up with some guys around 50 home runs, which will be a huge departure from the real season, but the pitching is going to be really skewed this season, and the reason is...the season I have has short rosters. I didn't realize it initially. It wasn't until after 1985 was chosen, and I play tested a few times that I noticed it. In essence, most teams have very few arms in the pen, so ones they do have will be overused.

A great example of this is KC. They are struggling, and I expect they will continue to do so, mostly because they only have 8 pitchers on the team. With a mostly 5 man rotation and fatigue, from one game to the next the options in the pen are really small. I've also seen in my play testing relievers approach 20 wins. I've tried to limit the relievers appearances by setting up the bullpen strategies for all the teams, but there's only so much I can do, when I'm simming all the games.

I probably should have turned off injuries so they would shorten team options even more, but that is a significant variable that I like to leave in place. I hope this doesn't spoil anyone's interest.

I'll be posting team stats this weekend, and when I post, I'll see about providing some comment on the season so far. Plus I don't know if you guys enjoy the play by play games, or if you just like the newspaper recaps. Let me know, and I'll try to get some play by play games posted periodically.

A few days back I missed the fact the AL had a couple of days with no games. So the newspaper postings are off on the date. I'm going to slow down here and get back in balance. Sorry about the confusion - the game jumps to the next scheduled game, not an empty day in the calendar. I'll try to pay more attention in the future.

[PilotMan]

I love seeing some of the day to day stuff. I played SOM growing up, have my version 1, Apple Computer game discs somewhere. My grandma used to send me box scores and stats every week from her Atlanta newspaper because they had better stats than I had in Minot growing up. Gotta love Grandmas. I wouldn't expect you to post every single day though. It's one of my very favorite seasons of baseball. Also love '86. I played the crap out of those cards. Skipped '87, then loved '88 after LA won it all. Man.....what a trip down memory lane.

Pendleton and Smith converge on it
Gloved by Smith...Fires to first...
Called safe by the ump...
Close play...
But it looked like he beat the throw!!

Whitey Herzog is visiting the mound...
He decides to stick with John Tudor
Alan Ashby is swinging a bat
He'll come up to hit for Jim Pankovits

It's popped up into foul territory
Ozzie Smith is under it
He grabs it for the out
Score It: 6
And that will do it for Houston
St. Louis wins 4 to 1
Tudor gets credit for the win
Scott takes the loss
The hitting star for St. Louis
was Terry Pendleton
He was 2 for 5
He also knocked in 3 runs
And that wraps things up
So long from Houston.

Burt Hooton(3-3) took the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners giving
up 8 hits and 3 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings. Tony LaRussa was asked about the
performance of Burns, 'He had his good stuff out there this afternoon. The
fans really get into it when the strikeouts start mounting up - and that
seems to give him even more adrenalin.'

Tony Bernazard slammed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI as the Cleveland Indians
defeated the Boston Red Sox by a score of 9 to 3 at MUNICIPAL
STADIUM.

Bernazard was really 'in the zone'. He cleared the fences for a two-run home
run in the 2nd inning, lofted a three-run bomb (his 4th of the season) in the
3rd inning and ripped a base-knock in the 5th inning. Boston was out-hit by
Cleveland, 14 hits to 10.

The victory went to Don Schulze(2-4) who went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs.
Schulze got help from Jerry Reed who earned his 2nd save. Al Nipper(4-1) was
tagged with the loss. He was knocked around by Cleveland, allowing 7 hits
and 2 walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.

At COUNTY STADIUM, the Milwaukee faithful were treated to an intriguing
pitcher's duel. Ted Higuera(4-3) finally bested his Kansas City counterpart,
Bud Black(3-4), by the score of 2 to 0.

Higuera put on a good performance. He gave up just 2 hits and 4 walks in 7 and
1/3 innings improving his ERA from 3.51 to 3.07. The pitchers took over
after the 3rd inning as neither team was able to score again.

Higuera got help from Bob Gibson who was credited with his 3rd save. The
losing pitcher was Black. He surrendered 2 runs and 5 hits in 8 innings.

TORONTO AT MINNESOTA

Toronto Blue Jays beat the Minnesota Twins 11 to 3.

Toronto took the lead off Frank Viola in the first inning as they scored 2
runs on 2 base hits. Toronto had a total of 15 hits for the game.

Doyle Alexander(4-3) got the win allowing 3 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings.
Viola(2-3) was the losing pitcher. He got hit hard, allowing 8 hits and 3
walks in 2 and 2/3 innings.

It was another victory for Toronto at METRODOME. Now their winning streak
stands at 7 games. 'Everything seems to be going right for us' said Bobby
Cox. 'I've got the easiest job in the league right now!'

DETROIT AT OAKLAND
Tigers.......... 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3 - 6 12 2
A's............. 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 - 3 5 0
Win:Tanana(4-2) Loss:Atherton(0-2) Save:Hernandez(11th)
Homeruns- C.Lemon(3rd), B.Garbey(2nd), M.Davis(7th)

Frank Tanana had a strong outing and Chet Lemon cracked a homer and had 3 RBI
as the Detroit Tigers beat the Oakland A's by a score of 6 to 3.

Detroit erupted with the game winning runs in the top of the 9th inning with 3
runs on 3 hits. After an out was recorded, Lou Whitaker began the rally when
he stroked a single. Alan Trammell was next and he doubled. Kirk Gibson
then was walked intentionally. Lemon followed and he smacked a three-run
homer (his 3rd of the season). For the game Detroit out-hit Oakland 12 to 5.

The win was credited to Tanana(4-2) who went 8 innings allowing 3 runs. Willie
Hernandez got the save, his 11th. Keith Atherton(0-2) suffered the loss in
relief. He was not very effective, surrendering 4 runs in 2 innings.


BALTIMORE AT SEATTLE
Orioles......... 0 0 0 3 5 0 0 0 0 - 8 11 0
Mariners........ 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 2 0 - 5 10 0

Homeruns- C.Ripken(8th), M.Young(11th), G.Roenicke(4th), J.Presley(4th),
G.Thomas(7th), I.Calderon(3rd)

Center fielder Gary Roenicke connected with a 'big fly' and had 3 RBI at The
Kingdome where the streaking Baltimore Orioles beat the reeling Seattle
Mariners 8 to 5.

Seattle was unable to recover after Baltimore went ahead in the top of the 4th
inning when they tallied 3 runs on 2 hits. The big moment was provided by
Roenicke who deflated the mood of the partisan fans when he belted a
three-run homer (his 4th of the season). Baltimore had 11 hits for the
afternoon.

The winning pitcher was Mike Flanagan(2-0) who allowed 3 runs in 7 innings.
Flanagan was helped out by Don Aase who recorded his 3rd save. The loss was
charged to Matt Young(2-4). He was knocked around, surrendering 6 runs in 4
and 2/3 innings.

Baltimore won for the 7th straight time. Chuck Cottier was upset but
philosophical about the loss. 'Sometimes you run into a team that's on a
roll. This was one of those times.'

rally when he singled. Coleman was safe at second on a stolen base. A balk
was called. Two outs later Jack Clark came to the plate and delivered a

Bobby Grich left the yard at ANAHEIM STADIUM as the Baltimore Orioles lost a
heartbreaker to California Angels by the score of 2 to 1.

The deciding run was scored by California in the 9th. After an out was
recorded, Doug Decinces delivered a single. Grich followed and he delivered
a base-hit. Grich took second on the throw. Ruppert Jones then was walked
intentionally to load the bases. Dick Schofield came up and he laced a
single making California victorious to the delight of the the home town
crowd. California had 7 hits for the afternoon.

Rafael Lugo(4-1) was the winner allowing no runs in 2 and 1/3 innings. Nate
Snell(0-3) suffered the loss in relief. He gave up 3 hits and 1 walk in 1
and 1/3 innings.

With this win, California has a 18-22 record. They have been 3-7 lately.

Indians......... 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 3 - 6 14 2
Win:Acker(2-0) Loss:Creel(1-3)

5,471 fans were treated to a fine game at MUNICIPAL STADIUM as only one run
separated the combatants at game's end. The Toronto Blue Jays won by the
slimmest of margins, 7 to 6.

The score was tied at 3 after nine. Toronto won it in the 10th inning. The
critical plate appearance was by George Bell who deflated the crowd as he
delivered a one-base hit scoring two baserunners. Despite losing, Cleveland
out-hit Toronto 14 to 10.

The victory was credited to Jim Acker(2-0) who went 1 and 1/3 innings,
allowing 3 runs. Keith Creel(1-3) was the losing pitcher in relief.


CHICAGO AT KANSAS CITY
White Sox....... 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 6 0
Royals.......... 0 1 3 0 0 1 0 0 - 5 7 1
Win:Leibrandt(1-4) Loss:Bannister(1-5)
Homeruns- G.Brett(4th), D.Motley-2(5th)

Left fielder Darryl Motley cracked 2 homeruns and Charlie Leibrandt pitched 9
strong innings as the Kansas City Royals topped the Chicago White Sox by a
score of 5 to 1 at ROYALS STADIUM.

Kansas City came up with 3 runs in the 3rd inning. Willie Wilson got things
going when he laced a single. Lynn Jones was next and he drew a walk.
George Brett then smacked a three-run homer (his 4th of the season). That
early scoring held up. Kansas City rapped out 7 hits for the afternoon.

Leibrandt(1-4) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Floyd
Bannister(1-5) was tagged with the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in his 7
innings.

Tony LaRussa was obviously impressed with the pitching of Leibrandt, 'That guy
made us look a little silly out there this afternoon. We just couldn't get
to him at all - everything was working for him. I just hope that he got that
kinda performance out of his system.'

MINNESOTA AT MILWAUKEE
Twins........... 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 1 7 0
Brewers......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 1 0
Win:Blyleven(7-2) Loss:Haas(1-5)
Homeruns- T.Teufel(8th)

Bert Blyleven was on top of his game, blanking Milwaukee on just 1 hit at
COUNTY STADIUM as the Minnesota Twins beat the Milwaukee Brewers by the count
of 1 to 0.

Blyleven(7-2) was tremendous on the mound for Minnesota. He was stingy on the
mound, allowing just 1 hit and 3 walks in 9 innings reducing his ERA from
2.05 to 1.83. Minnesota managed 7 in their victory.

The loss was charged to Moose Haas(1-5). 'All of my pitches were working
today,' Blyleven said. 'I felt really good out there, and heck, I think I
could have gone longer.'

NEW YORK AT OAKLAND
Yankees......... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 0 4 1
A's............. 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 - 2 5 0
Win:Codiroli(7-3) Loss:Cowley(4-3) Save:Howell(9th)
Homeruns- B.Bochte(4th)

In a game for the baseball purist, Chris Codiroli(7-3) and Joe Cowley(4-3)
squared off in a tense pitching duel, Oakland A's finally emerged victorious
over New York Yankees, 2 to 0.

Oakland jumped on top of New York in the 3rd inning scoring one runner on 2
hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Codiroli and Oakland.
That was all the run support Codiroli required. Neither team managed to
score after the 4th inning.

Jay Howell got the save, his 9th.

DETROIT AT SEATTLE
Tigers.......... 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 - 3 4 0
Mariners........ 3 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 - 5 10 0
Win:Swift(2-4) Loss:Petry(4-3) Save:Thomas(4th)
Homeruns- D.Evans(10th), G.Thomas(8th), S.Owen(3rd)

Phil Bradley had 4 hits as the Seattle Mariners defeated the Detroit Tigers by
the score of 5 to 3 at The Kingdome.

Seattle jumped out to the early lead in the first inning when they scored 3
runs on 2 hits. The big moment was provided by Gorman Thomas who electrified
KINGDOME when he lost the ball over the fence for three runs (his 8th of the
season). Seattle had 10 hits for the game and Detroit had 4.

Bill Swift(2-4) went 7 and 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Swift got
relief help from Roy Thomas who gained credit for his 4th save. Dan
Petry(4-3) was the loser.


BOSTON AT TEXAS
Red Sox......... 3 0 2 0 1 0 1 0 0 - 7 12 0
Rangers......... 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 - 3 7 0
Win:Boyd(4-3) Loss:Russell(1-6)
Homeruns- M.Easler(6th), R.Gedman(8th)

At ARLINGTON STADIUM the Boston Red Sox easily handled the Texas Rangers by
the score of 7 to 3.

Mike Easler had a big day with his bat. He laced a one-base hit scoring a run
in the 1st inning, popped a two-run clout over the fence (his 6th of the
season) in the 3rd inning and doubled in the 7th inning. Overall Boston
out-hit Texas 12 to 7.

Oil Can Boyd(4-3) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 5 and 2/3 innings.
Jeff Russell(1-6) took the loss. He allowed a few too many baserunners
giving up 12 hits and 2 walks in 6 innings.

The Boston ballclub's record now stands at 27-13. Texas can't seem to snap
out of their recent 'funk'. Now they have a miserable 2-8 record over the
last couple weeks.
