KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Spencer Torkelson drove in five runs with two home runs, marking his second multi-homer game of the season. Javier Báez returned to the lineup with three hits, one walk and two stolen bases. Miguel Cabrera, the eldest player on the roster, made up for a pair of strikeouts with a pair of walks.
The offense did its part with 11 hits, seven walks and, eventually, 10 runs.
But the Detroit Tigers couldn't put together a complete performance in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to the Kansas City Royals in the second of four games at Kauffman Stadium.
