MLB
The Tigers broke their four-game losing streak with a 7-5 victory over the Royals last night. Beau Brieske gave up three runs over the first two innings, then settled down and allowed no more through the sixth. He earned the win when Detroit scored four runs in the top of the seventh – an inning in which Miguel Cabrera stole third base, and ran home after an errant throw. Spencer Torkelson had three hits.
