DETROIT -- The biggest moment of the game in the eyes of the Royals during their 4-2 loss to Detroit on Sunday at Comerica Park wasn't Jarrod Saltalamacchia's walk-off two-run homer.
The Royals viewed a somewhat bizarre bases-loaded balk call on starter Yordano Ventura in the third inning as the key moment.
With the Royals leading, 2-0, Ventura had just struck out Miguel Cabrera with the bases loaded for the second out of the inning. Facing Victor Martinez, Ventura then threw an 0-1 curveball that landed in the dirt.
