The Detroit Tigers did not hit a home run in their 6-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night. Instead, it was the same relentless collection of pesky at-bats, singles, doubles, and walks that have made them one of the top offenses in the game to start the year. Reese Olson put together a very good outing, and the bullpen handled the rest as the Tigers run their record to 11-8 with a two game lead over Cleveland in the division.
As has been his trend, Olson got into a little early trouble in this one.
