Detroit — The Tigers and their still-in-hibernation offense continue to find a way to do just enough.
And, oh boy, this was a new one.
The Tigers scored twice in the seventh inning without even one hit en route to a 5-4 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Opening Day in Detroit on Thursday.
Two Royals relievers walked four consecutive Tigers to open the seventh, with Niko Goodrum's four-pitch freebie forcing in the first one. Christin Stewart later followed with a sacrifice fly to left as Detroit won its Comerica Park opener for the 10th time in 11 years and the 13th time in 20 openers at this park.
