The Kansas City Royals did just enough to sneak past the Detroit Tigers, 5-4, at Kauffman Stadium. Kansas City pitcher Joachim Frey, in particular, had a standout performance. Frey, now 9-8, was the winner. In 7.2 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 7, walking 2, and allowing 3 runs. Jeremy Moore recorded the save for Kansas City, his 2nd of the season.

Kellen Maland tagged a home run off Danny Wagner in the bottom of the third. His 2-run blast put the Royals on top, 2-0. In all, Maland had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 3.

"We'll grab a barley pop and savor this win," said Maland.

The last-place Royals have won 6 straight.
