Royals Lose 11-Inning Battle to Tigers

The Kansas City Royals' recent five-game winning streak ended with a dramatic 6-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers in an 11-inning battle, where Wenceel Pérez hit a walk-off single. Despite strong performances from Royals' players like Bobby Witt Jr. and Vinnie Pasquantino, the Tigers' relentless comebacks in the ninth, 10th, and 11th innings, including key hits from Javier Báez and Parker Meadows, secured their victory. The Royals hold a 6-3 advantage in the season series against the Tigers, and have shown resilience, exemplified by new acquisition Lucas Erceg's perfect pitching performance. Meanwhile, the New York Yankees, bolstered by Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s impressive debut, aim to extend their winning streak to six games against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Philadelphia Phillies, seeking to break a five-game losing streak, face the Seattle Mariners, who are second in the AL West with a strong home record.
