Royals Drop Another One
Detroit right-hander Jacob deGrom pitched his team to victory over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The final score was 5-2. Getting the save was Zach Britton, his 10th. The Royals fall to 12-19 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2018 season.

Kolten Wong, who is tied for 6th in the AL in stolen bases with 7, aided the Detroit cause with a 2-run single in the top of the sixth. For the game, the second baseman was 2-4 with 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said Detroit manager Eric Dolegowski.
