The pitching returned to form after a disappointing series opener, and the offense broke out in a big way late.
Last night, the Royals pitching staff gave up six home runs, which tied the most allowed in a single game in franchise history. A late lead crumbled and the Detroit Tigers snapped Kansas City's five-game winning streak. On Friday night, the Royals looked to start a new streak behind Yordano Ventura, who had historically pitched well against the Tigers. He did not disappoint.
Ventura dominated and the Royals offense broke out late, culminating in a 5-0 Kansas City victory to even the series.
