Royals Edge Tigers in Series Finale | Detroit Tigers News

The Royals clinched the series finale with an 11-7 win over the Tigers, overcoming a late-game comeback attempt and a strong early Tigers surge. After Kevin McGonigle’s first-inning double gave Detroit the lead, the Royals exploded for five runs in the second, including a game-changing three-run homer. Despite tying it at five in the fifth on another McGonigle blast, the Royals answered with four runs in the bottom of the eighth to seal the victory. Meanwhile, rookie pitcher Andrew Sears made his major league debut, pitching four innings and allowing four earned runs — not flawless, but promising. The loss ends a tough road trip for the Tigers, who now head home to face the Rays in a critical stretch if they hope to stay alive in the playoff race.
