Royals 11, Tigers 10: Hot mess in KC
This was just a miserably pitched game all around. Tarik Skubal blew an early lead before melting down entirely in the fourth inning, and the Tigers pen wasn’t much better. On the other hand, the Royals pitching staff was every bit as miserable. The Tigers offense fought to the last out, but fell one big hit short in a wild ninth inning as the Royals evened the series at a game apiece on Tuesday night.
A strong start for the Tigers quickly turned into a bit of a nightmare for Tarik Skubal in this one. A.J. Hinch had the lineup stacked with right-handers against lefty Daniel Lynch, with Riley Greene getting a planned night off, and it worked early on.
