Tigers Lose to Royals, 6-3
The Kansas City Royals picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, knocking off the Detroit Tigers, 6-3. Starting pitcher Daniel Vitriago played a key role in the triumph. Vitriago picked up the win for Kansas City, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 4-11. Earning his 30th save for Kansas City was Victor Pena.

Jonny DeLuca had a big 2-run home run for the Royals in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Kansas City leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he got a fastball from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Reese Olson and swatted a home run to left-center. It was his 7th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Royals ahead, 3-0.

"Daniel gets tougher when he has to, makes a big pitch when he has to," said Kansas City skipper Patrick Ochs.

With the win over Detroit, the Royals improved to 55-77.
