The Detroit Tigers returned home from a six-game road trip on Thursday with a win over the visiting Kansas City Royals, 6-1, to open up a 10-game homestand.
Coming off just the second series loss of the season and two straight defeats, the Motor City Kitties needed to get back on the winning track, and did so with solid pitching and a small-ball approach that killed KC with a thousand papercuts. It is always good to see the Tiger bats grind it out — especially against an old friend like Michael Lorenzen.
