Detroit Picks Up Another L
Coby Mayo impressed in the 5-3 Kansas City win over Detroit. Mayo was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks. The winner was Mason Barnett in relief. His record improves to 4-0. Daniel Delgado took the loss. Shane Baz closed the game out for Kansas City, earning his 2nd save.

The Tigers had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Royals going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 26-year old right fielder Michael Mullinax came to the plate. Mullinax hit a 2-run double on a 1-1 fastball from Detroit hurler Victor Arano. It was Mullinax's 11th double of the year.

"It was a solid team effort," said Mayo after the game.

The slumping Tigers have dropped 6 in a row.
