Royals beat the Tigers 3-1 as Wacha goes 7 innings and Isbel, Perez homer
Michael Wacha allowed one run in seven innings as Kansas City extended its winning streak to seven games, the second-longest in the majors.
- On Saturday, the Kansas City Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers 3-1 at Kauffman Stadium, extending their winning streak to seven games with home runs from Kyle Isbel and Salvador Perez.
- The loss drops the Tigers three games behind the final AL wild-card spot after losing seven of their last eight games, a stretch complicated by Riley Greene's hamstring injury in August.
- Wacha dominated for seven innings, allowing only one run and three hits while walking one and striking out six. Hao-Yu Lee's 446-foot solo home run provided Detroit's only offense.
- Zach McKinstry, Tigers infielder, said after Friday's loss, "We have a lot of new faces" and young players unfamiliar with playoff pressure. Detroit will use a bullpen game in Sunday's series finale.
- LHP Daniel Lynch IV takes the mound for the Royals seeking an eighth consecutive victory in Sunday's finale. Left-hander Andrew Sears is expected to be called up from Triple-A Toledo to make his MLB debut for Detroit.
