Royals Snag 5-2 Win
Kansas City catcher Mike Meyerhoff helped his team beat the Detroit Tigers, 5-2. Meyerhoff, who finished 2nd in the AL in slugging percentage with .667 last year, went 4 for 4 for the Royals. Bryan Boykin got credit for the win, improving to 3-5. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. Asa Hahn closed it out for his 3rd save.

Meyerhoff had a game-changing double in the top of the eighth. On a 3-1 cutter from David Cruz, he banged a 2-run double to center, giving the Royals a 4-2 lead. It was the 8th double of the year for Meyerhoff.

"I felt we were ready to go," said Kansas City manager Chris Stephan. "Our pregame was pretty good."

Their 16-18 record puts the Royals third in the American League Central Division.
