Monday 8/15/1985: Seattle's Easler wins Player of the Week award
Seattle's third baseman Mike Easler had some reason to celebrate, as the league named him the American League Player of the Week. Mike went 14 for 22 (.636), while hitting 4 HR and collecting 12 RBI.

Everytime I take the mound I give the best I can. And my best stuff was too much for them today.' Houston's leftfielder Rickey Henderson finished with 1 hit in 4 AB.
