Aerosmith has a song called “Same Old Song and Dance”, which seems quite fitting for the Detroit Tigers this week.
Losing 10 of the last 12 games is bad enough, but the Tigers allowed more than 10 runs for the third time in five games no Thursday, falling to the Kansas City Royals, 15-7.
Left-hander Matt Boyd started, but he didn’t record an out in the second inning. He allowed six runs on seven hits and walked two, throwing 50 pitches in 1+ inning. His final pitch was a ball Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain hit high into the sky and had enough to carry out of the park for a three-run shot.
