Tigers Top Royals to Even Record
Detroit got an elite performance from starting pitcher Luis Muñóz in securing a 4-1 decision over the Kansas City Royals. Muñóz, the winner, moves to 2-2. He threw 8 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 1 walk. For the Royals, the loss makes their record 7-11.

Detroit took a 4-1 lead on José Navarro's 3rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Navarro hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Kansas City pitcher Kevin Martin visibly frustrated.

"We played a good game and came out on top," said Navarro.
