Royals Suffer 6-3 Loss to Detroit
Kansas City left fielder Jorge Palmeiro had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Palmeiro was 4-4 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once, even as Detroit beat the Royals, 6-3. Clarence Rice, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 4th save. The Royals fall to 8-11 and continue their lackluster start to the 2025 season.

Dan Bradley, who is tied for 8th in the AL in home runs with 4, took Kansas City hurler Jefferson Vergara deep in the bottom of the sixth. His 3-run home run put the Tigers on top, 6-3. In all, Bradley had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 2.

Detroit manager Robert Carson commended his team for "banging out a nice win."
