Late Rally by Tigers Secures 7-5 Win
The Kansas City Royals got a sterling performance from pitcher Kevin Martin, but the Detroit Tigers still prevailed, 7-5. Martin threw 5.1 innings allowing 1 run. Tomás Mendoza closed the game out for Detroit, earning his 13th save. The victory gives Detroit a record of 23-17.

The result might have been different, had it not been for three-time Gold Glove Award winner Luis Guillorme. Guillorme had a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 7-5. For the game, Guillorme had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Guillorme.
