DETROIT (AP) Brady Singer was stellar for a second straight start, allowing two hits in six innings, and the Kansas City Royals blanked the Detroit Tigers 4-0 on Wednesday night.
Singer pitched eight one-hit innings in his previous outing at Cleveland. The rookie right-hander struck out the first five Detroit hitters and retired the first 10.
''Just try to lock in from pitch one and keep it rolling,'' Singer said.
Singer (3-4) struck out eight with one walk. Salvador Perez homered and drove in three runs for the Royals, who have won seven of eight.
Tarik Skubal (1-3) allowed two earned runs and four hits in six innings in this matchup of rookie starters.
