Royals Edged by Tigers, 5-3
The Detroit Tigers beat the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, in 11 innings. Detroit pitcher and Southgate, Michigan, native Jim Bunning led the way. John Hiller snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 2 innings. He's now 4-4 on the season. Detroit sits in third place in the American League Central Division at 75-79.

Detroit used a timely hit from Darrell Evans to get the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th inning to put the Tigers ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

Evans said his team "played with focus and determination."
