Royals Get Clutch Win, 6-5
The Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers played an entertaining game for Comerica Park patrons.

The Kansas City Royals saddled the Detroit Tigers with a loss at Comerica Park. The final score was 6-5. Brandon Thomas was 2 for 4, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Kansas City first baseman scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Bobby Day nailed down his 4th save.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Rich Thomas to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We take it day by day here," said Thomas, "and today was a good one for us."

The Royals are now 74-80, while the Tigers fall to 79-74.
