Brett propels Kansas City to victory
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — George Brett still can have fun playing baseball at age 40. All it took was his biggest game in five years.
The Associated Press
One day after he announced that he would retire at the end of the season, Brett. homered twice and drove in five runs, including a 10th-inning homer that gave the Kansas City Royals a 9-8 victory over the California Angels yesterday.
"I haven't been in that situation in a long, long time," said Brett, grinning as broadly as he has in years. "I never wanted to go out and not perform well. I'm not the player I once was, and I'll be the first to admit it."
Brett, who has three home games remaining, doubled in a run in the first and hit a three-run homer in the fourth. It was the second two-homer game this season and the 16th of his career. It was his first five-RBI game since May 22, 1988.
On Saturday, he said he was retiring because baseball had become a job. For a few hours, the second home run put those thoughts out of his head.
"I stayed with it and got it up in the jet stream," he said. "There was a pretty good crosswind out there today. But you are entitled to some of those. I've hit some into the wind, and I've hit some when there was no wind."
Brett took a little hop and pumped his arms as he rounded second base
after the high homeer into the rightfield bullpen. Reliever Bruce Kison retrieved the ball for him.
"If it's the last home run I ever hit, I'll have it inscribed and have it hang in my trophy case," Brett said. "Hopefully, there will be another. It would be sweet to have this come again Wednesday."
He waved to the fans who cheered long after both teams left the field and shook his head in disbelief as he returned to the dugout.
Brett, who leads the Royals with 74 RBIs, has four home runs in his past five games and 19 this season, his most since hitting 24 in 1988.
Kansas City tied the game in the ninth, scoring three runs with the help
of three walks. Brett was the first runner on base after he was hit by Steve Frey. Frey then walked a batter and was replaced by Joe Grahe, who walked two more batters, forcing in a run, and gave up a two-run single to Mike MacFarlane.
Javier's second homer this season gave California a 3-1 lead in the fourth, but Felix Jose's sacrifice fly and Brett's first homer put the Royals ahead 5-3 in the bottom of the inning.
California tied the score off Chris Haney in the fifth on RBI singles by Perez and Chris Turner and took ar. 85 lead in the sixth on Luis Polonia's RBI double off John Habyan and RBI singles by Chili Davis and Eduardo Perez off Stan Belinda.

SUTTON COLDFIELD, England — Let Europe have the best golfer in the world. The United States has the best team — and the Ryder Cup.
Even Nick Faldo's hole-in-one was not enough to stop a stirring comeback that allowed the Americans to keep the cup with a 15-13 victory yesterday over Europe.
Fred Couples, Chip Beck and Davis Love III rallied on the back nine at the cold, wind-swept Belfry course, and the U.S. team won five of the last six matches to hang on to the cup, which nearly slipped away several times.
It was the second successive victory
for the Americans, following the 14% to 13% win at Kiawah Island, S.C., in 1991, and the 23rd time the U.S. team has won in 30 Ryder Cups.
It also evened the record at two victories for each side and a tie since 1985 when the cup became much more competitive with a European victory at The Belfry.
"I think this is perhaps the greatest feeling I've ever had in my life, being captain of the Ryder Cup, even though I didn't hit a shot all week," Tom Watson said.
"We gave our hearts," said Faldo, who played up to his No. 1 ranking in the world. "It just wasn't enough."
It did not look like that would be the case early yesterday.
Play started with Europe holding a one point lead and the first five matches passed the treacherous 10th hole — the short par four that challenges players to drive over the water for the green — with the Europeans ahead.
But that is when the American charge started. From every corner of the course the meekest European move was met by thunderous roars that had U.S. players craning nervously to see the scoreboard. But it was the American nerves that held as the pressure built.
Pavin had been beaten by Peter Baker. The Europeans could have won the cup if Rocca had defeated Love and Faldo had beat Azinger.
Lee Janzens had already lost to Colin Montgomerie, John Cook had fallen to Joakim Haeggman, and Corey
And Love was one down going to the 17th hole. But again a European player buckled under the pressure and Love won the hole when Rocca missed a 4-foot putt. Rocca boyedey again on the 18th, and the match was won when Love rolled in a 6-foot parpall, all but sealing the Ryder Cup.
As Love's putt dropped, a small knot of Americans shrunched in red, white and blue and nearly swallowed up by the foot-stomping pro-Europe crowd, burst into a chant of "USA, USA, USA."
Outright AL West title in sight for White Sox
The Associated Press
CHICAGO - Now that the Chicago White Sox have clinched a tie for their first AL West title since 1983, they have seven more chances to clinch it outright.
A 5-3 victory against Texas in the opener of yesterday's doubleheader brought Chicago to the brink of the title, but a 3-2 loss in the second game delayed the celebration for at least one day.
"I'ts not over 'til they clinch," said Julio Franco, who put the Rangers ahead in the second game with an RBI double in the eighth. "We're not going to quit."
A crowd of 42,094 roared all afternoon. The White Sox, who lead second-place Texas by seven games with seven remaining, are home against Seattle tonight, and the Rangers play tomorrow night at Oakland.
"I don't think we've ever played more exciting games than we did today," Ozzie Guillen said.
Bo Jackson's bee was the highlight of the first game. Jackson hit his 14th homer in the second after a bee buzzed by the plate and chased him back to the dugout.
"I guess I was invading his space," Jackson said. "I tried to shoo him away but he came back. I tried again, and he came back. Then I was in the dugout."
Chicago manager Gene Lamont wasn't worried about Jackson getting stung.
"I don't care about the bee — only the home run," Lamont said.
Consecutive singles by Johnson, Ron Karkovice and Craig Grebeck gave Chicago a 2-0 lead in the fifth. The White Sox added three runs in the seventh on Ellis Burks' two-run double and Joey Cora's RBI single. Chris James hit a two-run single in the eighth for Texas.
Jason Bere, 11-5, won his sixth straight start. He gave up four hits in six innings, including Dean Palmer's 32nd homer. He struck out five, walked five and hit a batter.
The 22-year-old rookie said he was pumped up by the excitement of the series between the division leaders.
"It gives you a lot of adrenaline, sometimes too much," Bere said. "With two strikes, I wanted to go for the strikeout when it wasn't always a good idea."

Toronto one game shy of solo AL East title
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays clinched a tie for their third straight AL East title but missed a chance to win it completely yesterday, losing to Jim Abbott and the New York Yankees 7-3.
The Blue Jays needed to win their final home game of the season and have Baltimore lose once in a doubleheader against Detroit to wrap up their fourth division championship in five years.
Instead, a crowd of 50,518 — which boosted the Blue Jays' total to an an AL record 4,057,947 — saw the Yankees postpone the party. Toronto had clinched all four of its previous division titles at home, but New York scored five runs in the first and stopped Toronto's season-high, five-game losing streak.
Tofonto takes a magic number of one into Milwaukee, where Paul Molitor could help the Blue Jays clinch
tonight against his former Milwaukee teammates. The Orioles lost to Detroit 9-4 in their series opener and would have been eliminated with a loss in their second game.
By the time Toronto took the score on fan appreciation day, the scoreboard already showed Detroit ahead of Baltimore 5-0, helped by a home run from former Blue Jays player Cecil Fielder.
Fireworks were set off and they were the indoor kind, the retractable roof having closed in the middle of the game when clouds moved in.
The Blue Jays have drawn more than 4 million fans for three straight years and were the only team to reach the mark until the National League Colorado Rockies, an expansion team, set a major league attendance record this season. Toronto set an AL record last year with 4,028.318.
Of the 81 games at the Toronto Blue Jays this season, 71 were sellouts, including the final 49.
