Detroit — The Royals won the home run derby portion of the program Saturday, but the Tigers’ lone blast provided the margin of victory.
Down 4-2 in the seventh inning, the Tigers scored five times, the last four on a grand slam home run by Christin Stewart, to beat the Royals 7-4. It was the fourth straight win for the Tigers.
The down side of the win, though, the Tigers may have lost starting pitcher Matt Moore for a spell.
Moore worked three innings and allowed just one hit Saturday, running his scoreless innings streak to 10.
