Skidding Tigers Lose 7th Straight
The Kansas City Royals grabbed a win, 8-6, over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. Kansas City center fielder Kyle Isbel was 3-4 with a triple, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times. Taylor Clarke notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now sits at 4-2. Kansas City has run its win streak to 5 in a row.

Had Nicky Lopez not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Lopez hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Royals.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Lopez. "And not try to do too much."
