Tigers Walk It Off for 16th Win of Season
The Tigers grabbed a win, 6-5, at Comerica Park, overcoming a fine effort from Kansas City pitcher Jonathan Cannon. Cannon went 6 innings and allowed no runs. Detroit reliever Gregory Santos picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Danny Coulombe was saddled with the loss. Kansas City is now 11-12.

Detroit got a knockout punch from Fernando Tatis Jr.. The third baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"The house was rockin'," said Tatis Jr..
