Kansas City Slaps 5-3 Loss on Detroit
Getting offensive support from Salvador Perez, the Kansas City Royals topped the Detroit Tigers, 5-3. Perez was 2-3 with a double and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Royals. Jeff Montgomery converted his 42nd save in 45 tries. The first-place Royals bumped their record to 77-66.

Kansas City used the timely hitting of Carlos Beltran to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Royals on top, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll put this win in the can," said Beltran, "and go after the next one."
