April 24 at the Royals

Opponent: Kansas City Royals
Outcome: L
Score: 1-3
Streak: L18
Record: 0-18
Rank: 7th
GB: 14.0

Not much to say about this game other than it had the unusual distinction of all the runs scoring on home runs.  Mark Thurmond started for the O's against Bret Saberhagen and the game was scoreless until the bottom of the fifth when Kurt Stillwell hit a solo home run.  The Royals extended their lead in the bottom of the sixth when Danny Tartabull hit a two run home run.  The Royals threatened to score more in that inning - Frank White hit a double following Tartabull's home run and after Steve Balboni flew out for the second out, manager Frank Robinson brought Oswaldo Peraza in to relieve Thurmond.  Peraza walked Bo Jackson and then balked while pitching to Mark Macfarlane to move White and Jackson up a base.  He then walked Macfarlane to load the bases.  The Orioles went to the bullpen again and brought in Jose Bautista who got Stillwell to pop up to end the inning.  The Orioles sole run came on a home run by Cal Ripken in the top of the ninth, his second on the season.
