A day after the Detroit Tigers routed the Kansas City Royals 13-2, KC turned the tables and defeated Detroit 13-2 last night. Matt Boyd allowed just two runs over the first six innings. He left after giving another run on consecutive doubles to open the seventh. The Royals completed a four-run inning against Warwick Saupold and Jairo Labourt, then plated seven in the eighth off Joe Jimenez and Zac Reininger.
The Tigers have today off, and open a series at Toronto tomorrow night. Pregame coverage begins at 6:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
