It was the third straight day Delmon Young decided to bless us with a Home Run. He put the score from 6-4 to 8-4, and Detroit needed it. Jose Valvarde couldn’t get past the first four hitters, loading them up at one point for the Royals’ Billy Butler. Butler singled, but the next three batters got out.

For the first time since May 10, the Tigers are above .500 at 43-42.

Poor Jeff Franceour, the MLB-leader in outfield assists by a wide margin since 2005, ended this game like the last, as the last Royal to get out. K both times!! Maybe Jose V was tired from closing yesterday’s 4-2 win…
