Soggy conditions did not keep Detroit and Kansas City from playing their scheduled game.

The Detroit Tigers topped the Kansas City Royals, 7-6, in American League action at Kauffman Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Detroit designated hitter Freddie Freeman. Detroit pitcher Gregory Santos got the win. He's now 5-2. Lance McCullers was tagged with the loss. Dylan Lee notched his 33rd save in 38 chances.

Matt Olson was 1 for 3 with a double and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Detroit. The three-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the seventh. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Steven Okert. It was his 125th RBI of the season.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Olson.

The win elevated the Tigers to 96-55.
