In an old school pitcher’s duel, the Royals bested the Tigers 1-0 on Tuesday night at Comerica Park. The win marks No. 20 for Kansas City on the year.
As mentioned at the top, the pitcher’s stole the show. Daniel Lynch and Detroit’s Michael Lorenzen were as close to unhittable in the first five innings. Especially Lynch, who allowed just one hit in those first five innings.
The scoreless tie wasn’t broken until the recently-called-up Matt Beaty ripped an RBI-double to the right field corner in the top of the sixth inning. The double scored Maikel Garcia, who also led the Royals with three hits on the night.
