The Detroit Tigers dropped a heartbreaker Tuesday night after the Kansas City Royals completed a late-inning rally behind some baserunning heroics and fielding boners in a battle for the American League Central cellar. The loss wasted yet another fine start by rookie Spencer Turnbull, as well as exposed a key Tigers’ weakness: the defense.
The boys in the Olde English D look to even the three game series on Wednesday evening in a matchup of two Dans — Dan Duffy, who has been pitching well for the Royals so far this year and Dan Norris, who has finally managed to avoid the injury bug in a much-needed starting role for the Tigers’ depleted pitching staff.
