Things didn’t look good until the eighth inning came around, but the Detroit Tigers managed to pull off a comeback 4-3 victory against the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night, extending the team’s winning streak to four games.
Joey Wentz cruised through the first inning of the ball game, needing just nine pitches to get through the first four Royals of the night, but the second brought trouble. After giving up a leadoff walk to Edward Olivares, Wentz left a cutter over the heart of the plate and Hunter Dozier didn’t miss it. Akil Baddoo tried to track the ball and rob the home run, but it cleared the wall easily.
