Waters goes 4-for-5 to Light Tigers Fuse
|
The Detroit Tigers topped the Kansas City Royals, 11-3, at Comerica Park. Detroit right fielder Drew Waters was a spark plug for the offense. He was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The Tigers lead the American League Central Division by 15 games.
Leody Taveras had a big 2-run home run for the Tigers in the bottom of the third inning. With Detroit trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from 25-year old right-handed pitcher Jonathan Cannon and punished it. The result was his 17th home run of the season, which put the Tigers on top, 2-1.
"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Kansas City manager Jim H.
