The dispiriting thing about losing two of three in Detroit is that the Kansas City Royals got solid starts in all three games from Ian Kennedy, Danny Duffy, and Yordano Ventura. The KC Royals held a 2-1, seventh inning lead on Friday before Luke Hochevar imploded to give up three runs. On Sunday, the Kansas City Royals were tied in the ninth inning 2-2 with the Tigers and had forced Detroit manager Brad Ausmus to deploy closer Francisco Rodriguez in a non-save situation.
