Royals 3, Tigers 2. [Boxscore]
Summary: Tigers drop another close one despite Fister's gem.
Pitching: Fister just can't catch a break - the Tigers, in the last 4 games he's pitched, have only come up with 4 total runs, losing all 4 (he absorbed 3 of the losses). They've lost the last 5 games he's started, and 6 of the last 7. He's gotta be feeling frustrated right now. I sure would be.
He threw an absolute beaut of a game, going all 8 innings. He gave up 9 hits and garnered 3 K's, and his record stands at 5-4, 3.28, 1.13 WHIP.
Offense: Despite 7 hits and 3 walks, the best they could do was 2 runs, which came on Miggy's
409-foot, 2-run blast (18) to left in the 3rd. Hunter went 2-4 (.306) with a double (17).
Next game: Tuesday, Tigers (35-27, 13-17 away) @ Royals (29-32, 16-15 home), 8:10 Eastern. TV: FS-D. Radio: 97.1 The Ticket.
Projected starters:
Scherzer (8-0, 3.24) vs.
Davis (3-5, 5.66).
