Behind a near historic night from Dairon Blanco, the Royals evened up the series against Detroit with a 11-10 win. It’s victory No. 28 for Kansas City in 2023.
After four consecutive great starts by Royals pitching to begin the second half, Kansas City turned to Daniel Lynch IV to continue the trend. Only in the top of the first, Spencer Torkelson clobbered a two-run shot to put the Tigers in front 2-0. It was the first set of runs Royals starters had allowed in the first inning.
Fortunately for Kansas City, its offense was fueled by an unlikely hero…and that hero was named Dairon Blanco.
