Detroit — If thrilling the fans and turning your teammates into mass back-slappers worked once, JaCoby Jones figured it was worth a repeat Friday night at Comerica Park.
And he nearly pulled the Academy Award act twice Friday, until a nightmare of a ninth inning, capped by a bad Niko Goodrum error, helped the Royals to a two-run rally and a 3-2 victory in the second game of a doubleheader at Comerica Park.
Jones tripled to score the Tigers’ first run in the second game, then boomed a sacrifice fly in the seventh to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead that came within two outs of holding up.
