For six innings this was among the most boring games the Royals have played all season. Neither pitcher was astonishing, but neither team was doing much on offense. Justin Upton hit a hanging curve for an RBI double to give the Tigers a lead in the second, Alcides Escobar hit a solo shot tying his career high in home runs to tie it in the third, and J.D. Martinez launched a mammoth blast in the fourth to put the Tigers back in front.
Daniel Norris, as previously noted, didn't pitch super well.
