Tigers Fall to Royals, Lose Five Games in a Row to End Road Trip
Nick Loftin and John Rave homered as Kansas City won its eighth straight and finished a three-game sweep, its longest streak since May 2024.
On Sunday, the Kansas City Royals extended their winning streak to eight games with an 11-7 victory over the Detroit Tigers, completing a three-game sweep at home.
This streak represents the longest for the Royals since May 2024, while the team also achieved its fourth undefeated homestand of at least seven games in franchise history.
Nick Loftin and John Rave homered, and Kyle Isbel drove in three runs to spark the offense; pitcher John Schreiber earned his first victory of the season.
Despite Kevin McGonigle's RBI double and game-tying home run, Tigers rookie Andrew Sears struggled in his MLB debut, allowing five runs on six hits in four innings.
The Royals will travel to Toronto for a series opener against the Blue Jays on Tuesday, while the Tigers host the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday.
