Tigers 8, Royals 2. [Boxscore]

Summary: Arms and Bats overpower Royals.

Pitching: Porcello shone in this one, tossing a strong 7 inning, 106 pitch (71 strikes) effort for his 3rd quality start 5 appearances this season. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits (double, triple, homer) while striking out 6 for the win. [Video overview of start]

Interesting fact: In his last 37 outings, he's walked 2 or fewer batters in 34 of them.

- Season line: 4-1, 3.66 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, with 22/4 K/BB in 32.0 IP.

Krol took over in the 8th and he only needed 4 pitches to complete the inning, getting 3 ground-outs.

- Season line: 0-0, 0/1 Sv/Opp, 4 Holds, 3.00 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, with 6/0 K/BB in 9.0 IP.

Reed finished off the game, throwing 6 pitches, getting 2 ground-outs and a fly-out.

- Season line: 0-1, 1 Hold, 3.48 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, with 7/3 K/BB in 10.1 IP.

Offense: The Boys took Shields and the Royals (sounds like another grungy garage band, heh) to the woodshed, toting up 14 hits, a walk, and a HBP to score 8 runs. They stranded 7 on 6-15 hitting with RISP.
