On a wet night in Kansas City, the offense failed to build on last night’s results and the pitching couldn’t do quite enough as the Tigers beat the Royals 3-2.
Ryan Yarbrough gave up a ton of hard contact but mostly managed to keep Kansas City in the game. He surrendered a nuke to Javy Báez in the second that put Detroit on the board but otherwise managed to keep them quiet for five innings. In the bottom of that fifth inning, the Royals managed to take a lead. After a Salvador Perez groundout, Matt Duffy singled and Michael Massey smoked a double into the right field corner to score Duffy.
