Detroit – The Tigers had a chance to complete a rather dubious hat trick against the Kansas City Royals Sunday.

They have won two home series all season. That’s all. Both were at the expense of the Royals and the last came way back on May 3-5. They had dropped 13 straight home series and were swept in seven of those.

But, hat trick denied.

Behind twin wrecking balls Hunter Dozier and Jorge Soler, the Royals gained a split of the four-game set with a 10-2 win. Dozier and Soler each homered twice and knocked in seven of the 10 runs.
