Tigers Get Hard-Earned Win
The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals put on quite a show.

Due in part to catcher Doug Mientkiewicz, the Detroit Tigers chopped down the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, in 12 innings. Mientkiewicz went 4-6 with a double and 3 singles. Detroit goes to 62-69, Kansas City to 57-74.

It could have been a different outcome for Detroit, had it not been for Chris Walker, the 28-year old left fielder . Walker contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 12th inning to put Detroit up, 5-4.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Walker.
