July 1, 1987 The 1987 season heads into the month of July and not much has changed in the AL pennant race since last month. My Detroit Tigers are still in 2nd place, 2 games behind the East Division leading Toronto Blue Jays. The Tigers held the top spot briefly after taking 4 of 6 games during a home and away series against the Blue Jays near the middle of the month. They've since fallen behind Toronto after a flurry of late inning losses during the last week. Milwaukee and Boston are right behind the division leaders but the New York Yankees have really under-performed and find themselves 14 games out. The Seattle Mariners still hold a slim lead in the AL West over the Minnesota Twins while the Oakland Athletics and California Angels are now right in the mix. The Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers have performed well under pre-season expectations. |
