Kansas City, Mo. — Maybe this is what we should have expected between the two bottom-dwellers in the American League Central — neither team seemed overly eager, or capable, of holding a lead.
The Tigers, after blowing a 6-3 lead, rallied from a 7-6 deficit with four runs in the top of the eighth inning and held on to beat the Kansas City Royals, 10-7, on Monday.
It was just three years ago these teams were the class of the division. Woof. This game featured 11 walks, two wild pitches and a hit batsman.
The Tigers roughed up their former teammate Joakim Soria in the decisive eighth inning.
