Tigers Have No Trouble with Royals

Game 85 vs. KC

I fail to see how the Royals are tied for second in the division. They have poor pitching, so maybe the offense is carrying them.

That strategy didn't work since Jordan Zimmermann on the mound. He had a solid outing, going 8 innings and giving up only 1 run.

Feliple Paulino managed to get through 6 innings, but the Royals bullpen is suffering from the same issues that we saw from Texas last week. They are fatigued.

There were no homers in this game, as Andre Ethier needed one to complete the cycle. Michael Morse had 3 RBI. Miguel Cabrera's hit streak was snapped in the win.
