With the help of a questionable scorer’s decision in the fifth inning, 27 year-old Bret Saberhagen fires a no-hitter, beating the White Sox at Royals Stadium, 7-0. When Royals’ left fielder Kirk Gibson misses Dan Pasqua’s slicing line drive, the play is immediately ruled a double, but after viewing several replays, Del Black changes his mind and calls it a two-base error.
