The Royals lefty threw a [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=410]4-hit shutout[/url] sending the Tigers back to their cages. Even more remarkable than Detroit's having lost 3 in a row is the fact that all 7 AL West teams beat their AL East opponents last night.

[b:0e0805cc06]In other action:[/b:0e0805cc06] The Orioles and Braves found similar paths to lose last night, as both teams managed to blow leads in the last few innings. The O's gave up runs in the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=407]8th, 9th and 10th innings[/url], while not to be outdone by their NL brothers in shame, the Braves, who also chunked it in the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=402]8th and 9th inning[/url] as well.

[b:0e0805cc06]Injury Notes:[/b:0e0805cc06] Eric Davis tweaked his hammy during the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=407]Reds' win[/url] over the Expos and is expected out for up to a week... A's super-star catcher Jerry Willard took a Dave Stieb curve to the head and is expected out at least 2 weeks... Juan Samuel left the [url=http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/1986/scores/boxscore.php?id=406]Phillies' loss[/url] with disgust at the team's terrible play of late. He is expected back Thursday night.
