Live updates: Fulmer chased in third inning, Tigers lead Royals 5-4 in home opener

3rd inning

Top 3rd

After Brett Phillips singles to lead off the inning, Whit Merrifield hits a homer to left. It's now a two-run game with nobody down.

Jorge Soler is out on a hard-hit ball to Victor Reyes. Adalberto Mondesi then grounds out to first. Two away, with Salvador Perez stepping into the box.

Perez hits a homer to the deepest part of the ballpark to make it a one-run game. That makes it four home runs in two innings between the two ballclubs. Somebody find Nick Castellanos.

Michael Fulmer walks Ryan O'Hearn, and his day is done.
