Royals Come Back Late to Top Tigers
Kansas City left-hander Chris Sale pitched his team to victory over the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. The final score was 5-1. Carl Edwards Jr. got credit for the save for Kansas City. It was his 1st of the year. The Royals, with only their 1st win in 4 games, have not had much to write home about in 2018.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Joe Mauer, the three-time Great Glove Award winner . Mauer contributed a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put Kansas City up, 4-1.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Kansas City manager Bryce Shuck.
