For much of Monday night’s contest with the Kansas City Royals, the Tigers looked like they’d go the way of the series in Washington. They got out to two leads and lost them both, while stranding a ton of baserunners. But a huge bases-clearing knock from Javier Báez saved the day as the Tigers won 8-5 in ten innings.
Kansas City starter Brady Singer, the owner of a career 6-0 record and 2.44 ERA vs Detroit, looked much more like the Brady Singer of 2023 (7.09 ERA, 1.533 WHIP) as he faced the Tigers in the top of the first inning.
