Royals' Pasquantino Drives Sole Run to Beat Tigers 1-0

Vinnie Pasquantino's RBI single in the eighth inning secured a 1-0 victory for the Kansas City Royals over the Detroit Tigers, ending Detroit's five-game winning streak. Pasquantino, who was moved to seventh in the lineup to face left-hander Tarik Skubal, delivered the game's only run by driving in Nick Loftin with a single to left field. Both starting pitchers, Michael Wacha for the Royals and Tarik Skubal for the Tigers, pitched exceptionally well, with Wacha allowing just one hit and one walk over seven shutout innings and Skubal allowing two hits over seven innings. The bullpens maintained the scoreless game until Pasquantino's decisive hit in the eighth. Pasquantino's performance contributed to his strong May stats, boasting a .330/.375/.464 slash line with multiple extra-base hits and 13 RBIs in 120 plate appearances. The teams are set to conclude their three-game series with Kris Bubic starting for Kansas City and Keider Montero for Detroit.
