The Kansas City Royals completed a three-game series sweep of the Detroit Tigers with an 11-7 victory on Sunday, extending their winning streak to eight games. The win also concluded a perfect seven-game home stand, a milestone reached only four times in franchise history. Offensively, Nick Loftin and John Rave both hit home runs, and Kyle Isbel contributed three RBIs. The game featured significant momentum shifts; after the Tigers rallied to tie the score at 5-5 in the fifth inning, the Royals responded with four runs in the bottom of the frame to reclaim the lead. Earlier in the series, the Royals secured a 3-1 win driven by Michael Wacha’s seven-inning performance and home runs from Isbel and Salvador Perez. For Detroit, Andrew Sears made his Major League debut, allowing five runs over four innings. Following his activation from the concussion injured list, the Tigers designated center fielder James Outman for assignment and selected the contract of left-hander Sears from Triple-A Toledo. The Tigers are now scheduled to begin a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Park, with Framber Valdez slated to start for Detroit.
