Royals Lose at Home, 4-2
The Detroit Tigers picked up a win at Kauffman Stadium, topping the Kansas City Royals, 4-2. On the mound for Detroit was left-hander J.P. Howell. He played a principal role in the triumph. Howell, now 5-4, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 7, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. Andrew Miller finished to wrap up his 2nd save.

Had Nolan Reimold not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Reimold hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 3-2, in favor of the Tigers.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Reimold.

With the win, the Tigers sit at 23-17.
