What’s this? Only one game today?
Well, the Tigers and Royals wanted to make sure we got the full show today by tying the game up 1-1 early on. Mike Fiers was showing some sluggish velocity on his pitches, and the curveball especially seemed to be hampered by a sloooowww curveball, helping the Royals’ Mike Moustakas climb to a 13-game hitting streak.
Then, in the bottom of the third, Nicholas Castellanos belted a two-run moonshot — his first home run of the season — giving the Tigers the lead again, and answering Gibby’s “he’s due” assessment.
