Tigers Beat Royals 7-3 with Ibáñez Homer, Extend KC Losing Streak

Andy Ibáñez and Tomás Nido each hit solo home runs to lead the Detroit Tigers to a 7-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, extending the Royals’ losing streak to five games. Rookie pitcher Jackson Jobe contributed five strong innings, allowing just one run on five hits. Spencer Torkelson added a two-run double, marking his AL-leading 13th extra-base hit. The Royals briefly led after Bobby Witt Jr. extended his hitting streak to 11 games, but Detroit’s offense rallied, including RBI singles from Riley Greene and Trey Sweeney. Kansas City’s Cole Ragans saw his streak of three consecutive 10-strikeout games end, and the Royals’ offensive struggles continued, having scored four runs or fewer in 19 of 21 games. The Tigers secured the victory despite a late Royals rally in the ninth, with Tommy Kahnle finishing for his fourth save.
