Royals Earn 3-2 Win Versus Tigers
In a low-scoring contest between the Kansas City Royals and the Detroit Tigers, Jaime Garcia was the X factor. The Kansas City left-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Kansas City has now won 4 straight, while the Tigers have lost 3 in a row.

Kansas City got a knockout punch from Alberto Callaspo. The second baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"It wasn't a very good day at the ballpark," said Detroit manager Bobby Balwin.
