Kirk McCaskill

He's turned things around.

Kirk McCaskill has rebounded from two years of injuries.

Bert Bleiloven has been a big addition to this club.

Providing some veteran leadership.

If you recall, John, it was the Angels who did a number on the Orioles in late June after the Orioles had swept a three-game series in Seattle.

They went into Anaheim, won the first game on a pinch hit homer by Jim Traber, 6-5, and then Mike Witt beat them 5-1.

Chuck Finley beat them 8-3 and struck out 15, and Kirk McCaskill beat them in the final game of the series, 7-6, and sent the Orioles reeling for a while.

And Finley walks the leadoff batter.

Just blew him away.

So one down, Schofield the batter, and we'll be here at 3 Eastern time tomorrow when Kirk McCaskill goes to the mound for the Angels against the lefty Bruce Hurst, who pitched extremely well down the stretch in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series with the Astros and the Mets getting started in the National tomorrow night at 8.

What a game that's going to be.

Mike Scott and Dwight Gooden.

Game two in the series coming up tomorrow, and it's a day game.

So it's three o'clock, three Eastern, two Central, one Mountain, and noon Pacific time tomorrow.

Kirk McCaskill taking on Bruce Hurst, and then at eight Eastern time tomorrow night, Keith Jackson and Tim McCarver will be in the Astrodome as the Mets take on the Astros in game one.

Dwight Gooden and Mark Scott.
