The Detroit Tigers have been resilient over the past two weeks, mounting comebacks and creating winning streaks. By battling until the final out, they're no longer the worst team in baseball.
Despite their continued efforts, the Tigers (18-27) were unable to grab the lead in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium in the second of three games in the series — snapping a four-game winning streak. The first pitch of the game was delayed by one hour and 21 minutes because of rain.
Although the Tigers chased Royals starter Brady Singer in the seventh inning and loaded the bases against reliever Scott Barlow, he escaped trouble by striking out Jeimer Candelario and Miguel Cabrera looking.
