The Royals have secured a split in one of their rare two game series, grabbing a 6-2 victory of the Tigers. Jake Junis is the lead story here, holding the Tigers without an offensive threat the whole contest.
This game somehow avoided the storms in the Kansas City area, starting at its schedule 7:15 first pitch. The Tigers got on the board first in this one, getting a run on a Jeimer Candelario sac fly in the top of third.
Matt Boyd had held the Royals in check the first couple of innings, but he left an 0-2 pitch over the plate to lead off the third frame, giving Adalberto Mondesi his fifth long ball of the year.
