The bats were hot for the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday in Kansas City.
The Tigers' seventh-inning rally was enough to hold off the Royals, 6-5, and complete a three-game series.
The big blow in the seventh, after a leadoff walk by Niko Goodrum, came off the bat of Willi Castro, who launched a breaking ball from Greg Holland to center field for a two-run home run to tie the game, 3-3. The ball traveled 421 ft.
A wild pitch from another Royals reliever, Scott Barlow, allowed Robbie Grossman to run home, giving the Tigers a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
