Kansas City Dispatched, 10-8, by Detroit
Detroit left fielder Brandon Marsh helped his team beat the Kansas City Royals, 10-8. Marsh went 2 for 3 for the Tigers. The winner in relief was Scott Effross. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 1.1 innings. He now owns a record of 2-0. The setback makes Kansas City 28-30.

The game turned with no one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Marsh hit a run-scoring single off Jonathan Cannon. It propelled the Tigers into the lead, 3-2.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Marsh.
