Tigers win on second walk-off hit of night

Detroit – The Tigers thought it was over in the bottom of the ninth. They thought they had their second straight walk-off win against the AL Central-leading Royals.

They did not.

Ian Kinsler, who daringly stole third base with no outs in the ninth inning, challenged the arm of center fielder Jarrod Dyson on a line drive to short center by Andrew Romine.

The throw beat Kinsler but was high. Home plate umpire Gary Cederstrom called Kinsler safe and the Tigers began to celebrate what looked to be a 6-5 win.

But, on the urging of Royals manager Ned Yost, Cederstrom, the crew chief, called for a video review.
