Royals Continue Hot Streak with Extra-Inning Win
The Detroit Tigers got a sterling performance from pitcher Mike Evans, but the Kansas City Royals still prevailed, 4-3. Evans threw 6.1 innings of 4-hit ball. Kansas City reliever Josh Headley got the win, raising his record to 1-0. Steve Day was tagged with the loss. The last-place Royals have won 7 straight games.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the 12th, an error by the Tigers allowed the Royals to score the winning run.

"This place was jumping at the end," Freeney said.
