Tigers' bats struggle again in 3-1 loss to Royals

Detroit – There were fireworks at Comerica Park Friday night. But they ignited well after the Tigers fizzled, losing to the Royals 3-1.

Frustrating night.

Javier Baez, who struck out with a runner at second and nobody out in the fourth, came to bat with two on and nobody out in the sixth against right-hander Brad Keller. He got a hanging slider on the first pitch but missed it, fouled it back.

He shook his head, said something to catcher MJ Melendez and slammed his bat on the ground. You don't get many cookies in this game.
