Royals 4, Tigers 3 (F/10): No sweep for you

4 days ago | blessyouboys.com | Brandon Day

Photo by Duane Burleson/Getty Images The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals locked into a classic game of small ball between the two clubs. Tarik Skubal wasn’t particularly good, and the Royals were trying hard not to get swept out of town by the division leading Tigers. It was kind of a classic Tigers-Royals matchup where power did not rule the day. Instead both teams struggled to take advantage of their opportunities, and the game eventually went to extra innings.

Tigers 6, Royals 0: Relentless offense returns for the homestand

6 days ago | blessyouboys.com | Brandon Day

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Detroit Tigers did not hit a home run in their 6-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. Instead, it was the same relentless collection of pesky at-bats, singles, doubles, and walks that have made them one of the top offenses in the game to start the year. Reese Olson put together a very good outing, and the bullpen handled the rest as the Tigers run their record to 11-8 with a two game lead over Cleveland in the division.
