Royals Rally Past Tigers 3-2; Outman HR Later
The Royals rallied for a 3-2 win over the Tigers in the ninth, as Nick Loftin hit a go-ahead homer after Salvador Perez tied the game earlier; Hao-Yu Lee provided Detroit’s offense with a homer, a double and two RBIs as the Tigers briefly led before the late comeback. Royals starter Michael Wacha lasted seven innings, Casey Mize lasted six for Detroit, and Royals closer Alex Lange earned the save closing out Detroit in the ninth. In a separate note, James Outman belted a three-run homer to lead Detroit to a 4-3 victory over Kansas City later in the season, continuing a tough July for him despite the big hit. Dillon Dingler delivered a clutch two-out RBI in Detroit’s 4-3 win over the Royals later in the season, marking his 35th two-out RBI and team-leading 66th RBI. The Royals and Tigers concluded their four-game series with mixed results as both teams look to build momentum going forward.
