Rollie Fingers couldn't hold on in the ninth.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

KANSAS CITY — Through eight full innings, neither the high powered Brewers nor the Royals could score a run. Starters Bob McClure<\/a> and Paul Splittorff<\/a> did all they could do, but neither pitcher would earn a decision.<\/p>\n

The game fell on the two preeminent closers in the game, Dan Quisenberry<\/a> of the Royals and Rollie Fingers<\/a> of the Brewers. Things changed in a hurry.<\/p>\n

Quisenberry took the mound after Splittorff allowed a leadoff single to Ted Simmons<\/a> in the ninth. Gorman Thomas<\/a> deposited an 0-2 fastball into the left field bleachers to give the Brewers a 2-0 lead. On the very next pitch, Ben Oglivie<\/a> made it 3-0 with a home run of his own.<\/p>\n

You’d think that would be more than enough to win. Whether or not McClure would remain flawless, the Brewers have Rollie Fingers as back-up. Surely, he wouldn’t fail like Quisenberry, right?<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, wrong. McClure allowed a leadoff single to UL Washington and George Brett<\/a> connected on the first well-hit ball off of McCLure on the evening, a two run home run. Rollie Fingers took the mound and allowed three singles that tied the game before Frank White<\/a> laid down a successful suicide squeeze to win the game.<\/p>\n

Kuenn said it was the hardest defeat in his 45 games as the team’s manager. It may be Brewers’ fans hardest defeat of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
