Miguel Cabrera, Willi Castro not enough for Detroit Tigers in 8-7 loss to Royals

With only three games remaining, Miguel Cabrera is playing his best baseball of the shortened season for the Detroit Tigers.

Yet not even Cabrera at his best is enough to produce wins. The two-time MVP has four homers in his last four games — all losses. He launched his 10th of the year, a 450-foot blast to center field, to tie Thursday's contest in the fifth inning

Relievers Tyler Alexander and Gregory Soto squandered the momentum by allowing four runs in the sixth inning, leading to an 8-7 loss for the Tigers (22-33) against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
