Top 1st: Tigers 1, Royals 0
Ian Kinsler drew a four-pitch walk from Jason Hammel to leadoff the game, and Alex Presley followed with a single to left field to give the Tigers two men on base for Nick Castellanos. Castellanos drilled a ball to right-center, but Paulo Orlando made a spectacular sliding catch to rob the Tigers' right fielder of two RBI.
