Tigers Pick Up 10-6 Win Against Kansas City
The rain could not dampen the enthusiasm of Detroit fans at Comerica Park.

The Detroit Tigers spoiled a good performance by Kansas City first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, bumping off Kansas City, 10-6, at Comerica Park. Goldschmidt was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Gregory Santos, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 0.

Matt McLain helped out the Detroit cause in the bottom of the fifth inning with a run-scoring sacrifice fly. For the game, the second baseman drove in one run.

McLain told a Detroit Times reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.

The win puts Detroit at 14-5.
