Tigers Deal Royals 5-4 Defeat
Kauffman Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the Kansas City Royals and Detroit Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers stopped the Kansas City Royals, 5-4, at Kauffman Stadium. The Tigers got a big game from Jose Abreu, who went 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs. Mike Clevinger got the win, improving to 5-2. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 7 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 2. Will Smith picked up the save, his 3rd.

Abreu had a game-changing home run in the top of the seventh. On a 1-2 circle change from Chris Sale, he banged a solo home run to left, giving the Tigers a 4-3 lead. It was the 5th home run of the year for Abreu.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Abreu said.

The Royals drop to 15-17 and continue their mediocre start to the 2020 season.
