Looking to end their seven-game losing streak, the Tigers hit the road to take on the Royals, but were unsuccessful, falling 2-1.
Who would have thought Tuesday night’s game would turn out to be a pitcher’s duel?
Anibal Sanchez looked solid for his third straight start, pitching six full innings and allowing just two earned runs on seven hits. He also struck out six, but was given the loss. The Tigers have given him no run support in his last three outings.
On the other side, Jason Vargas held the Tigers’ (62-95) offense in check. He also went six full innings, allowing one run on five hits and striking out three.
