For the second consecutive night, the Royals tore apart Tigers pitching in a 10-3 win. The victory puts Kansas City 12 games over .500 at the 50-game mark.
It didn’t take long for the Royals to break through off former first rounder Casey Mize. In the bottom of the first, Bobby Witt Jr opened the scoring with an infield single. Shortly after, Salvador Perez drove him home to make it 2-0.
One inning later, the flood gates busted open. Kansas City knocked Mize out of the game after putting up four more runs. It was highlighted by the longest home run of Witt Jr’s career (468 feet).
