Royals beat the Tigers 3-1 as Wacha goes 7 innings and Isbel, Perez homer
Michael Wacha allowed one run in seven innings as Kansas City extended its winning streak to seven games, the second-longest in the majors.
- On Saturday, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers 3-1 at Kauffman Stadium, with Kyle Isbel and Salvador Perez hitting solo home runs. The victory extended the Royals' winning streak to seven games.
- The loss drops the Tigers three games behind the final AL wild-card spot, extending a troubling stretch where Detroit has lost seven of its last eight games. Riley Greene's August 11 injury has compounded the team's struggles.
- Michael Wacha dominated for seven innings, allowing one run and three hits while striking out six. Hao-Yu Lee provided Detroit's only offense with a 446-foot home run, but the Tigers could not overcome Wacha's efficiency.
- Addressing the lineup's inexperience, Zach McKinstry said, "We have a lot of new faces" after Friday's loss. The Tigers will employ a bullpen game in Sunday's series finale as roster challenges mount.
- LHP Daniel Lynch IV takes the mound for the Royals in Sunday's finale. Detroit has yet to announce a starter, though Left-hander Andrew Sears is expected to be called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his MLB debut.
