Royals Lose to Tigers, 5-2
Detroit pitcher Carlos Rodon did his part in helping his team defeat the Kansas City Royals, 5-2. The opposition could never get too much going against the left-hander. Rodon picked up the win for Detroit, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 5 hits. He now sports a record of 5-0. The loss has the Royals at 12-16.

Alejandro Kirk had a big 2-run home run for the Tigers in the bottom of the second inning. With Detroit leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Walker Buehler, who finished 2nd in the AL in innings pitched with 237.1 in 2021, and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Tigers on top, 4-0.

"Carlos's as tough as he is talented," said Detroit manager Chris C.
