Brady Singer had another mediocre start and the offense couldn’t sustain a rally as the Royals dropped the rubber match to the Tigers this afternoon by a score of 9-4.
Kansas City drew first blood in the second inning. Maikel Garcia and Samad Taylor knocked groundball singles to put runners on first and second with one out. Matthew Boyd then hung a slider to Freddy Fermin that was begging to be smoked. Fermin obliged him, crushing it off the wall in left field just out of reach of the left fielder Andy Ibáñez to give the Royals a 2-0 lead.
