The Detroit Tigers bested the Kansas City Royals, 4-1, at Kauffman Stadium. Jeff Hennessey was one of the standouts. He was 3-4 with 3 singles. The winner in relief was Kenneth Jones. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. He now owns a record of 10-4. The 'W' lifts Detroit's record to 50-50.

With Detroit leading 2-1 in the top of the third, Hennessey hit a run-scoring single off Kansas City hurler Antonio Aguilar. It was the 48th hit of the season for Hennessey and put his team ahead, 3-1.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Hennessey said. "And the same is true when you lose."
