Royals edge Tigers 2-1 in 10 after long delay (The Associated Press)

DETROIT (AP) -- Greg Holland worked out of a bases-loaded, nobody-out jam in the bottom of the 10th inning, and the Kansas City Royals held on for a 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers early Monday in a game that was delayed 103 minutes by rain.

Omar Infante's sacrifice fly in the top of the 10th put the Royals ahead, but Holland allowed a single and two walks to start the bottom half. Hernan Perez - batting because Miguel Cabrera had been removed for a pinch-runner the previous inning - bounced into a 5-2-3 double play, but another walk to Victor Martinez loaded the bases again.
