June 24, 1991 at Royals Stadium the California Angels beat the Kansas City Royals 9-4. The Angels got 18 hits off Royals pitchers, including 5-5 with 3 runs scored and 3 RBI by Dave Winfield as he became the 3rd of 5 Angels players to hit for the cycle in a game. Chuck Finley went 8 innings, allowing 2 runs on four hits, for his 11th win of the season against 3 loses. Finley finished 1991 with his second straight 18-9 season and joined Jim Abbott (18-11) and Mark Langston (19-8) as three Angel pitchers to reach 18 wins that year. Even though Winfield would hit 28 home runs and knock in 86 that year, other older veterans like Lance Parrish, Dave Parker and Gary Gaetti could not provide enough offense and the Angels would fade as the season went along, finishing at 81-81, but last in the American League West.
