But in the eighth, Brett, the American League batting champion, gave Kansas City a second life with a home run to right field following sin- gles by Al Cowens and pinch- hitter Jim Wohlford. An inning later, the Royals tried to win it. With two out, Buck Martinez stroked his third hit of the game and Cowens walked. Wohlford hit a shot to third base that Graig Nettles grabbed on a short hop and fired to second. Umpire Joe Brinkman called Cowens out on an exceedingly close play. If Brinkman had called Cow- ens safe, it would have brought up Brett, the Royals' most ef- fective hitter in the series. But the out call ended the inning and the Royals hoped Brett could get his swing in the 10th. But, because of Chambliss, that 10th never came.
