Tigers defeat Royals 6-1, start homestand strong

The Detroit Tigers secured back-to-back home victories over the Kansas City Royals, starting with a 6-1 win that saw Riley Greene break out of a slump with three hits and two RBIs, while Reese Olson pitched five scoreless innings. Spencer Torkelson continued his strong performance with multiple hits and three RBIs, capitalizing on key opportunities to drive in runs. The Tigers' offense rebounded from a recent scoring drought, providing ample support for their pitching staff. In the following game, rookie Jackson Jobe delivered five strong innings, and solo home runs from Tomás Nido and Andy Ibáñez powered the Tigers to a 7-3 win, marking Jobe's second consecutive solid start. The Royals, mired in a slump, have struggled offensively throughout the series and extended their losing streak. Detroit's effective pitching and timely hitting have been pivotal in their impressive start at home, reminiscent of their successful 1993 campaign.
