Tigers 13, Royals 8
This one hurts. The Royals jumped out to a six run lead in a first inning that included back-to-back-to-back homeruns, but failed to hold on for the win.
Things were looking good as the Royals pounded Tigers starter Mike Moroth in the first inning. Tony Graffanino, then Angel Berroa, then Doug Mientkiewicz homered to give the Royals a seemingly comfortable 6 run lead.
But, in typical fashion, the Royals immediately gave back three of those runs and starter Denny Bautista struggled. The Tigers kept pecking away at the lead and trailed 8-7 going into the ninth inning. But the bullpen exploded and "closer" Elmer Dessens gave up four runs before getting yanked. Andy Sisco entered the game to finish it off giving up one more.
The losing streak stands at 13.
