Justin Upton’s two-run homer in the eighth inning powered the Detroit Tigers to a 6-5 victory over the Kansas City Royals Sunday. The timely blow came just after the Royals had surged from behind by scoring four runs in the bottom of the seventh off Daniel Norris and Alex Wilson. J.D. Martinez homered earlier for the Tigers. Kansas City threatened in the ninth, but second baseman Ian Kinsler knocked down a vicious line drive by Alex Gordon. The ball was hit so hard it split Kinsler’s fingernail, but he held a runner at third base, and threw the bloody baseball to first to retire Gordon.
