Kansas City, Mo. — This one is going to sting.
The Tigers led 2-0 after six innings Tuesday but wound up on the short end of a 3-2 decision to the Kansas City Royals.
A home run by Ryan O'Hearn off Blaine Hardy in the seventh cut the lead in half. Then, with a light rain falling in the eighth inning, Adalberto Mondesi legged out a double off reliever Daniel Stumpf — challenging and easily beating the arm of left fielder Christin Stewart.
Right-hander Victor Alcantara was summoned to face Jorge Soler.
