Tigers Roar Past Royals with a Seventh-Inning Surge

The Detroit Tigers improved their record to 12-8 after a decisive 7-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals, who now stand at 8-13. The game, held at Comerica Park, saw the Tigers capitalize on key moments to secure their win. Detroit's offense was in full swing as they amassed 12 hits and took advantage of Kansas City's pitching struggles.

Tigers' Offensive Highlights

Detroit's offensive prowess was evident throughout the game, particularly in the fifth and seventh innings. In the fifth inning, the Tigers scored three runs on three hits, showcasing their ability to string together successful at-bats. Spencer Torkelson contributed significantly with two RBIs and maintained an impressive .333 batting average from his previous performance.

Riley Greene also played a pivotal role for Detroit, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and maintaining a .667 average from his last outing. His consistent performance helped set up scoring opportunities for his teammates. Tomás Nido added to the offensive effort by hitting .750 in this game alone.

Royals' Efforts Fall Short

Despite Kansas City's efforts, they struggled against Detroit's pitching staff. The Royals managed only three runs on ten hits throughout nine innings of play. Their initial momentum came early when they scored one run in the first inning but were unable to maintain that pace against Detroit’s pitchers.

The Tigers’ bullpen proved effective once again by allowing only two runs late in the ninth inning while keeping Kansas City scoreless through most of their at-bats after that initial burst of energy from KC hitters like Bobby Witt Jr., who had limited success during this matchup despite being one of their key players coming into it all along!
