Game 1 had runs scored in every inning but the sixth. Montreal tied the game 7-7 in the bottom of the 8th. KC was able to score a single tally in the top of the 9th and hold on for the win 8-7. Andres Galarraga led the charge of the Expos going 3 for 4 with 2 home runs and 3 rbi and he scored 3 times. Nixon went 2 for 5 as did Brooks. The Royals got a home run from Willie Mays Aikens. Amos Otis went 3 for 5, George Brett, Hal McRae, John Wathan and Frank White all picked up two hits. Both Larry Gura and Dennis Martinez, the starters, were roughed up and got no decisions.
Game 2 saw the Royals score twice in the top of the 1st and that was all that was needed. Mike Jones and Dan Quisenberry combined on a 5 hit shutout. Webster went 2 for 3 for Montreal in the loss. Hal McRae 3 for 4 and Willie Wilson 4 for 5 led the Royals attack in the 4-0 win. Both McRae and Aikens hit home runs.
Game 3 saw both starters get chased before the end of the 5th inning. Rich Gale came on for the Royals in the top of the 5th to stop the attack of the Expos as the Royals got the win 6-3. Montreal saw Galarraga get his 4th triple of the tournament. The Expos had only Tracy Jones with 2 hits in his 3 trips to the plate. For the Royals George Brett homered, went 4 for 5 with 3 rbi. Hal McRae had 3 hits in 4 at bats and Willie Wilson went 2 for 5. Gale picked up the win in relief of Paul Splittorff. Bryn Smith, who was lifted after 3 innings, took the loss for Montreal. 6-3. A tall/promising lefty named Randy Johnson threw 5 1/3 innings of relief and was spotless until he tired and gave up 2 runs late in his outing. Rumor has it his stuff was electric. He fanned 6 and didn’t walk a batter.
