DETROIT -- The Tigers have seen more Royals rallies than they care to remember over the last few seasons. When Salvador Perez's sixth-inning fly ball carried over Steven Moya's head and dropped in front of the right-field wall for a game-tying RBI double, followed by a go-ahead run scoring on second baseman Ian Kinsler's throwing error, it felt like another round of Royals magic.
The Tigers, however, had some rally left in them, and maybe a little luck of their own.
"Just stringing hits, walks, whatever it may be, trying to make a play," said Kinsler, whose bunt single was part of the Tigers' three-run seventh inning in Friday's 4-2 win at Comerica Park, earning Detroit a critical win over its division rival.
