Royals 9, Tigers 6
The Royals finally snapped their 5 game losing streak and finally beat the Tiger this season. Scott Elarton looked like the serviceable journyman pitcher that he is, going 6 innings while giving up just 3 runs. Elmer Dessens continues to struggle amid trade talks with the Rockies. The Royals are probably hoping to get a good outing out of Dessens so they can move him.
It's also curious how the Royals are handling struggling lefty Andy Sisco. He obviously is in need of some time in the minors, but the Royals have so far refused to send him down. It makes me wonder if Dayton Moore sees no upside in Sisco at all, and so he is letting him stay in KC to allow others to get the minor league innings.
Mark Teahen continues to hit the ball well, sparking speculation that perhaps he could move to first base when Alex Gordon is called up to play third. If Teahen can continue to hit, he should fit nicely in that first base slot allowing the Royals to perhaps trade Justin Huber for more prospects.
It's still a tough road ahead as the Royals move on to Boston for a three game series.
