Royals Sit In West After Clinching Three-Game Sweep
Kansas City manager Whitey Herzog hailed an eight-and-a-half game lead in the American League West after the Royals beat Minnesota 4-1 to complete the sweep. Frank White drove in the go ahead run in the ninth with a fielder’s choice, part of a 23rd win in 26 games. White is hitting near .400 against the Twins this season with 10 RBIs. Joe Zdeb added a ninth inning single and George Brett a sac fly for added insurance. Minnesota’s Jerry Terrell opened the scoring with a second inning single, but Rod Carew cautioned a miracle may be needed to climb back into contention as the Twins eye 19 remaining regular-season games.
