The Angels started pitcher Jim Barr, while the Royals sent rookie Craig Chamberlain to the mound. At this point in the season, the Angels were leading the American League West division, closely followed by the Royals. Both teams were vying for a playoff spot, making this game crucial in the tight division race. Notable players included Don Baylor for the Angels, who was in the midst of an MVP-caliber season, and George Brett for the Royals, one of the league's premier hitters. The game featured explosive offense from the Angels. Don Baylor opened the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning. The Angels broke the game open with a six-run seventh inning, highlighted by a three-run homer from Brian Downing. Bobby Grich added to the lead with a two-run homer in the ninth inning. Jim Barr pitched effectively into the eighth inning, limiting the Royals' scoring opportunities. The Royals attempted a late comeback, with George Brett hitting a three-run homer in the eighth, but it wasn't enough to overcome the deficit. The Angels secured an 11-6 victory, extending their lead in the division. This win was pivotal in their journey to clinch the AL West title, which they eventually did. Don Baylor's performance bolstered his case for the American League MVP award, which he won that year. The Royals, despite the loss, remained competitive but ultimately finished second in the division. The 1979 season marked the Angels' first postseason appearance in franchise history. #DonBaylor #JimBarr #GeorgeBrett #CaliforniaAngels #KansasCityRoyals #BrianDowning #BobbyGrich #1979MLBSeason #AmericanLeagueWest #BaseballHistory Follow Us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Website ▶ https://retroseasons.com TikTok ▶   / retroseasons​   Instagram ▶   / retroseasons   Facebook ▶   / retroseasons​   Twitter ▶   / retroseasons​   YouTube ▶    / retroseasons​
