Tigers 3, Royals 2. [Boxscore]

Summary: Max does it again!

Pitching: This game was another pitcher's duel - and Scherzer came out on top! Tossing a strong 7 innings, he gave up both Royals runs on 3 hits (1 HR) and 2 walks against 6 strikeouts to notch the win. It was also his 7th quality start this season in 13 games.

His record is impressive at this point: 9-0, 3.19 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, 106 K's. How does that stack up amongst the leaders?

MLB ranks: Wins: Tied for 1st with 4 others; WHIP, 2nd; K's, 2nd.

Any which way you wanna dice it, he's elite.

Benoit took over in the 8th, and he held the line for his 8th Hold, giving up one single while punching out 2. Record: 1-0, 1.93, 1.04 WHIP; 3 saves (BS:0); 33 K's in 28 IP.

Valverde continued to inspire mini-heart attacks and anxiety episodes by pitching the 9th in true Valverde fashion, allowing a single, SB, and getting a batter to whiff to earn the save. Record: 0-1, 3.78, 1.02 WHIP; 9 Saves (BS: 2); 16 K's in 16.2 IP.

Offense: They got 11 hits, 4 walks, and 1 extra-base hit. Royals staff must be playoff-caliber or something, just like most of the other teams in the AL.

The 'star' of this game, if you wanna call it that, was Infante, who went 3-4 to raise his BA to .303. The donkelly chipped in with 2 more (.217) and an RBI (11).

The sole extra-base hit belonged to Matt Tuiasosopo, a pinch-hit double (5) to raise his BA to .350. Impressive kid. Wonder how he would do over a full season?

Martinez managed a SF (31st RBI of the year) to put the Tigers on top in the 8th, Miggy drew 2 walks (1 intentional), and Hunter whiffed 3 times.

Tigers are now 7-10 in 1-run games, and still leading the AL Central by 5.5 runs.

Next game: Tigers (36-27, 14-17 away) @ Royals (29-33, 16-16 home), 2:10 Eastern. TV: FS-D, MLBN. Radio: 97.1 The Ticket.

Projected starters: Verlander (8-4, 3.71) vs Shields (2-6, 2.81)
