Kansas City, Mo. – The Tigers didn’t exactly get started on time in this one.
It wasn’t until they were in a 3-0 hole in the seventh inning that they became engaged. But, too little too late. The Royals held on for a 3-2 win Friday night at Kauffman Stadium.
The Tigers were blocked for six innings by starter Brad Keller. But when the Royals gave the ball to lefty Danny Duffy in the seventh, they got a spark.
Harold Castro singled (his second hit of the night) and went to third on an opposite-field double to right by Niko Goodrum.
