Pelfrey shoulders blame for Tigers' loss
(Photo: Robin Buckson, Detroit News)Detroit — All that positive energy and good feeling from the rousing, come from behind 4-2 win Friday night dissipated quickly Saturday night.
Most of it was gone after the first inning.
Momentum in baseball really is only as good as the next day’s starter.
The Royals walked all over Mike Pelfrey, scoring four runs before the Tigers even came to bat and cruised to an 8-4 victory at Comerica Park.
BOX SCORE: Royals 8, Tigers 4
“This game is on me,” Pelfrey said afterward. “I put the bullpen in a bad spot. I put the offense in a bad spot. I take full responsibility for it.”
