Outman Delivers Go-Ahead Three-Run HR, Tigers Edge Royals
James Outman belted a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, his fourth homer of the season. Dillon Dingler then delivered the decisive blow with a two-out, go-ahead RBI double in the eighth, sealing Detroit’s victory as they improve in a tight, competitive game. Despite the win, Outman has struggled in July, posting a low on-base percentage and high strikeout rate, contributing to a difficult overall line for the season. The Tigers also benefited from late-inning offense after the Royals tied the game in the eighth, highlighting a resilient finish at Comerica Park. Detroit’s record stood around the mid-’50s range, underscoring the importance of the win in a challenging season. The night’s drama included Lee’s and Dingler’s key late contributions, reinforcing Detroit’s pattern of clutch two-out hits to decide games.
