Grade: Good. Some jumpiness, light static in the top half of the picture.

Notes: John Tudor and Todd Worrell combined on an eight-hit, one-run performance. Kansas City scored first after Sundberg, Motley and Balboni singled. The Royals then tried a suicide squeeze, but Buddy Biancalana failed to connect and Darryl Motley was out on his way back to third. The Cardinals turned a leadoff walk and a one-out ground out in the third inning into their first run, then scored on a Cesar Cedeno double in the fourth and a misplayed line drive by Lonnie Smith in the ninth. The Royals tried scoring Jim Sundberg from third on a Steve Balboni pop up in the fourth inning, but Terry Pendleton made an over-the-shoulder catch and a perfect throw to the plate.

Thanks Richard!
