Both teams had their chances, but the Detroit Tigers eventually prevailed.

The Detroit Tigers did just enough to sneak past the Kansas City Royals, 3-2, at Comerica Park. Detroit pitcher Momosuke Sato, in particular, had a standout performance. Sato, now 9-10, was the winner. In 5 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 5, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. Riso Profanter earned his 31st save in 34 chances.

Victor Quinones, who finished 5th in the AL in slugging percentage with .612 last year, chipped in for Detroit with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the first. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.

"We found a way to get it done," Sato said.

Detroit has 3 straight wins, Kansas City 3 straight losses.
