Rookie Stewart hits first two homers as Tigers beat Royals

Detroit — These teams had a combined 191 losses coming into Thursday night's game, but they came at each other like caged MMA fighters in a death match.

The Kansas City Royals and Tigers pounded out 14 runs, 17 hits, 11 extra-base hits and five home runs — in the first two innings. Yes, on maybe the last warm night of the season in Detroit, the ball was flying out of Comerica Park.

When the smoke cleared, the Tigers walked off with a 11-8 win, stopping a three-game losing streak.

It was a night Tigers rookie Christin Stewart won’t soon forget.
