Tigers Collapse Late Again | Kansas City Royals News

The Tigers’ late-inning collapse cost them again, falling 5-4 to the Royals after a shaky bullpen surrendered a two-run homer to Michael Massey. Despite a strong fifth-inning rally fueled by Riley Greene and Dillon Dingler, Detroit’s offense went cold, leaving the bullpen to protect a one-run lead they couldn’t hold. Starting pitcher Framber Valdez battled through five innings, but early runs and lack of insurance doomed the team. The loss marks another one-run heartbreaker in a four-game series, snapping a recent hot streak and leaving the Tigers to regroup ahead of a crucial series against the Orioles, where Keider Montero takes the mound in hopes of ending the collapse cycle.
