Detroit Tigers second baseman Jonathan Schoop has hit two home runs in the last three days.
Two of those homers were influential in comeback wins; the other put his team in a perfect spot to compete for the lead.
His 389-foot homer to left-center field tied Thursday's game and seemed ready to spark the Tigers once again.
This time, however, his solo shot wasn't enough.
Not even Miguel Cabrera's first multi-homer game since Sept. 30, 2016, could steal the four-game slate.
The Kansas City Royals prevailed, 5-3, Thursday at Comerica Park to split the series and drop the Tigers to 4-3 in the 60-game season.
