Royals No Cinch Yet Herzog Remains Cautious
Manager Whitey Herzog cautions that Kansas City still must win 26 or 27 games to clinch the American League West after splitting a doubleheader with the Chicago White Sox. He notes injuries to pitchers Busby and Splittorff and praises Hal McRae, Al Fitzmorris, and Dave Nelson in the 7-1 nightcap win. The White Sox, led by Jack Brohamer, won the opener 5-2 with Terry Forster superb in six innings. The Royals host the Yankees in a nationally televised game with Dennis Leonard facing Ken Holtzman, a potential playoff preview.
