Detroit Drops Kansas City, 9-7
Chris Ward added some punch to the Detroit offense, helping them outmuscle the Kansas City Royals, 9-7. In the game, Ward, who is on pace for 100 RBI this season, was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs. Detroit sits in third place in the American League Central Division at 71-69.

Detroit took the lead, 9-7, on Daniel Pereyra's 15th double of the season. The 2-run double, which Pereyra hit in the top of the ninth, left Kansas City pitcher Ryan Washington crestfallen.

"It doesn't matter if you're 10 games over .500 or 10 games under, it feels good to win," Pereyra told the Detroit Today.
