Kansas City, Mo. — The start of the game Wednesday was delayed 24 minutes because of an expected pop-up storm that never actually popped up.
In that regard, it was kind of like the Tigers offense, which for the second straight night didn’t hit with any force.
Fortunately for them, the home team was in a giving mood. The Tigers took advantage of a couple of eighth-inning walks and a misplayed ground ball to eke out a 3-2 win over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
JaCoby Jones, inserted into the leadoff spot by manager Ron Gardenhire, walked and scored twice in this game.
