Detroit right fielder Sam Saunders helped his team beat the Kansas City Royals, 7-5. Saunders went 3 for 3 for the Tigers. Mike Tracy, 1-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. Luis Brown earned the save for Detroit, his 22nd.

Detroit used a timely hit from Dan Friess to get the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Tigers ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Friess called the triumph "a good team win."

The second-place Royals have lost 4 consecutive games.
