Extra-Inning Win by Tigers Over Royals
Extra innings were needed to determine a winner at Kauffman Stadium.

The Detroit Tigers racked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, bumping off the Kansas City Royals, 4-2, in 10 innings. Matt Shoemaker, who started for Detroit, pitched effectively for his team. Justin Sherman, now 6-1, was credited with the win in 3 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 2 and walking 0.

Detroit won the game in part because of Yasiel Puig. The right fielder ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 4-2. For the game, Puig had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"There's a warrior mentality with this team," said Tigers manager Bobby Balwin.

The second-place Tigers go to 55-42.
