TORONTO — Dane Stieb held
Kansas City to three hits through
eight innings and the Toronto Blue
Jays, showcasing the blend that
brought them their first-ever divi
sion title, beat the Royals 6-1 lues
I day night in the lit game o/ the
American League playotTs.
The Blue jays, the Al bast cham
pions in just theii ninth season,
scored all their runs iti the first lour
innings and finished with 1 1 hits, in
the first AT postseason game outside
the United States.
The loss in the opener of the best-
of-seven series saddled Kansas City
Manager Dick Howser with an 0-10
record in the postseason as bis Roy
als crumbled under the Blue Jays'
early mix of speed, power and agres-
siveness.
Stieb shut out the Royals through
eight innings, loin Henke, the Jays'
surprise bullpen star this season,
gave up two hits to lead off the
ninth, and Willie Wilson scored die
lone Kansas City run on a fielder’s
choice.
The game leaturecl the two slatt
ing pitchers who led the league in
eat tied tun average. But while the
top-ranked Stieb, with a 2.48 TRA,
looked everv bit the part, the Bl.ie
Jaws ripped Charlie Leibrandt and
sent him to his earliest exit of the
season.
Stieb, whose lack of run support
during the season produced a mis
leading 14-1.4 record, gave up a two-
out double to George Brett in the
Inst inning and a one-out single by
Brett in fourth. A pinch-hit double
by Dane lorg in the eighth ended a
streak a 12 straight batters retired by
Stieb.
Stieb allowed only one other run
ner, a walk to Pat Sheridan in the
fourth, and struck out eight. The
hatd throwing Stieb fanned eight
different Royals, all except Sheri
dan, before Henke came in to pitch
the ninth.
Leibrandt, meanwhile, lasted just
two f ull innings and was driven f rom
the mound in third with the bases
loaded and no outs. The Blue Jays,
who were 0-2 against Leibrandt dur
ing the season, ripped the 17-game
winner for five runs on seven hits.

Cardinal Manager Whitey Herzog
said Monday he was considering us

sorda predicted the best-of-seven
matchup with St. Louis will be “a
very, very exciting playoff.”
“ I he Cardinals are the best in the
league in hitting and in defense,”
Lasorda said. “And they have two
21 -game winners.”
The Cardinals have the NT’s top
hitter this season, Willie McGee at

and Baylor, UH has illustrated every
way in the book to move the football
'and still come up short on the
[scoreboard. They’ve had penalties
(Tulsa), fumbles (Washington) and a
little of both (Baylor).
The only constant so far for UH
jthis season is a defense that seem-
jingly always gets caught with its
pants down.
Dubbed the “dorkiest defense in
[the country,” by Houston Chronicle
[sports Writer A! Garter, the Cougars
[are giving up an average of 28 points
[per game. And this L T 11 defense lists
[eight of 11 defensive starters from
last year's Cotton Bowl squad.
But Aggie offensive lineman
iDoug Williams expects the Houston
Idefejnse to put its best “cheeks” for-
Iward’on Saturday.
“It doesn’t matter what Houston’s
[record is, they always plav Texas
[A&M tough,” Williams said.
Meanwhile, A&M Defensive
jCoordinalor R.C. Slocum said the
[Cougar offense could meet the Ag
[giedefense at a bettei time.
‘It’s one of those things that we
I preach to our guys all the time — we
jean’t give up the big play,” Slocum
■said, “but it seems we've given up at
least one in every game this year.
Sherrill agreed, “Houston’s ability
to make the big play really conc erns
me because that’s something we have
Jiiot done a good job with defensi
vely.
It could be because we have con
fidence in our offense’s ability to
move the ball and put points on the
scoreboard. Our defense never
really feels the pressure.
I “We’re going to get better and I've
felt all along that it won’t be until the
sixth or seventh game that we really
reach our peak. But we have to line
up and play this week and Baylor
next week, so the time is now.
I “You look at our next two oppo

still say both of those teams are
