Royals Flatten Tigers, 9-3
The Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers, 9-3, at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City third baseman Alex Rodriguez had an outstanding performance. He went 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Kansas City leads the AL Central Division by 2½ games.

The game was on the line with two out in the top of the seventh inning, but Carl Sadler didn't flinch. With a runner on 3rd and Detroit trailing 4-3, Sadler retired Brett Collard to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Sadler, with a wink.
