Right-hander Michael Lorenzen, one of the most coveted pitchers leading up to the Aug. 1 trade deadline, fueled the Detroit Tigers past the Kansas City Royals with another stellar pitching performance.
The 31-year-old, who owns MLB's longest active scoreless innings at 21u2154 innings, fired seven scoreless innings.
The Tigers beat the Royals in Thursday's series finale, 3-0, to take three of four games at Kauffman Stadium. Two of the three runs were scored when four straight batters reached safely with two outs in the bottom of the second inning.
