Kansas City Beaten, 8-3, by Detroit
The Detroit Tigers used the hitting of shortstop Danny Richar to subdue the Kansas City Royals, 8-3. For the game, Richar was 4 for 6 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 runs. The last-place Royals have lost 4 straight games.

Detroit used a timely hit from Pedro Alvarez to get the win. The designated hitter stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Alvarez called the win "a team effort."
