Ken Kravec (10-9) earned double figures in wins with 7 strong innings.

GAME TWO – Jim Morrison (4) hit an 0-2 pitch with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9^th over the left field wall to tie the game at 2-2. In the 10^th, Pryor singled through a drawn in infield to score Jorge Orta with the winning run.

GAME THREE – Morrison was again up with 2 outs in the B9 and the ChiSox trailing by one, 4-3. He put a charge into a Larry Gura (9-7) pitch, but this one stayed in the ball yard and Willie Wilson caught it to allow KC to avoid the sweep. George Brett singled home Amos Otis after his RBI double in the 7^th for the difference makers for the Royals. Gura notched the complete-game win.
