Fans watched the Detroit Tigers and the Kansas City Royals fight to the finish.

Detroit beat Kansas City at Comerica Park, eking out a 5-4 win. The win was due in large part to catcher Emmanuel Gaskin. He went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Detroit is 47-64 and Kansas City, with the loss, 47-63.

Jim Zucco was the walk-off hero for Detroit. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Tigers shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Zucco said in his postgame press conference.
