Tigers 1, Royals 0: Pitching and defense carry cats to another series win

The Detroit Tigers just continue to roll. The offense has been pretty quiet over the last three series, and that was certainly the case today in Kansas City. However, Keider Montero and the bullpen had the Royals lineup in check all game and scratching out one run proved to be enough to win both the game and the series.

AJ Hinch stacked up the right-handed hitters in his lineup to try and break Royals lefty Kris Bubic early on. That meant Justyn-Henry Malloy leading off with his very selective eye, and Andy Ibáñez in the four hole behind Gleyber Torres and Riley Greene.
