Live updates: Royals ruin Tigers' home opener, chase Fulmer early in 14-6 rout

Game summary

The Detroit Tigers raced out to a 5-1 lead in the second inning of their home opener at Comerica Park against the Kansas City Royals on Monday night.

Then the wheels fell off. And the windows got smashed. And then the car exploded.

The Royals scored 11 unanswered runs before beating down the Tigers 14-6 as the story of Michael Fulmer’s return was changed into the story of Detroit returning to the team that it was a season ago.

The Tigers (2-2) ran out six pitchers, three making their MLB debuts, giving up 13 hits.
