Detroit — It’s almost like it’s personal.
The Tigers didn’t draft Royals starter Brady Singer with the first overall pick in 2018. They took Casey Mize. Seventeen teams ended up passing on Singer until the Royals grabbed him with the 18th overall pick. But it seems like he’s punished the Tigers more than the others since.
Singer outdueled Tigers starter Matthew Boyd Saturday, giving up only a solo home run to Willi Castro in the Royals' 2-1 victory at Comerica Park.
Singer, who allowed three hits in seven innings, has now beaten the Tigers three times in four starts, allowing just four runs in 25 innings.
