In the Battle for the American League Central, the Tigers won (lost?) and the Royals lost (won?) in the first game of three that will help to decide who wins (loses?) the ignominious title of being the worst team in the worst division in baseball. The Tigers pulled out (pushed in?) a 4-3 victory (loss?) and handed the Royals a loss (win?).
It was an unlucky and unfortunate game for the Royals, whose pitchers suffered bunt hits, infield hits, and overturned calls, and whose offense hit line drives hit right at defenders for double plays.
The Royals certainly had their chances in tonight’s game.
