Royals Rally to Beat Tigers 10-8, Avoid Sweep in Detroit

The Kansas City Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers 10-8 on August 24 at Comerica Park, avoiding a sweep in their three-game series. The Royals rallied with a six-run third inning highlighted by Vinnie Pasquantino's two-run homer, his sixth in seven games, and contributions from every starter, including Kyle Isbel and Maikel Garcia. Detroit briefly regained the lead in the fifth inning with a home run from Wenceel Perez and a bases-clearing double by Jahmai Jones, but the Royals responded with key hits in the sixth to secure the win. Tigers starter Jack Flaherty struggled, allowing eight runs on ten hits, while Royals starter Seth Lugo gave up six runs over 4 1/3 innings. Relief pitching from John Schreiber and Carlos Estevez helped Kansas City close out the victory. Despite the loss, Detroit's Riley Greene hit his 31st home run of the season and scored three runs, underscoring a competitive but ultimately unsuccessful comeback effort.
