We will remember the 2017 season as a frustrating one, but on the first night of meaningless baseball in Kansas City, the Royals staged a vintage Royals rally to beat the Tigers in a series winning 7- victory.
Paulo Orlando would prove to be the hero of this one, both with his glove and his bat, in the Royals first game out of postseason contention after being eliminated by a Twins 8-6 win last night.
Royals starter Jason Hammel has had as frustrating a season as any Royal, coming into tonight’s contest with an ERA well north of 5.
