Notes: A win for the Royals in Game 6 would force the first-ever Game 7 in the LCS while a win for the Blue Jays would give them their first appearance in the World Series. Game six was the first series appearance for Mark Gubicza, who started for the Royals, against Doyle Alexander, the game three starter for Toronto.

In the top of the first, walks to Wilson and Brett plated the Royals a run when McRae singled Wilson home. The Blue Jays tied it in the bottom of the first when Garcia doubled, Moseby singled, and Garcia scored when Mulliniks grounded into a double play. In the top of the third, Brett reached on a fielder's choice and scored on a double by Hal McRae. The Blue Jays again tied it when Fernandez doubled to left and moved to third on a wild pitch by Gubicza. Fernandez then scored on Moseby's ground out to make the score, 2-2. In the fifth, Brett hit his third home run of the series - all of them off Doyle Alexander - and the Royals were back in front, 3-2. In the sixth, Sundberg walked and moved to second on a sacrifice bunt. He then scored on a double by Buddy Biancalana, who then went to third on a throwing error and scored on Lonnie Smith's double. The Blue Jays got one run back when Moseby singled, moved to second on a walk to Upshaw, and scored on Cliff Johnson's single to make it 5-3. That is how the game ended as the Royals had tied the Series at three wins apiece.

Thanks Paul!
