Royals use 3 solo homers to power past Tigers 5-2 for a sixth straight win

Kansas City extended its winning streak to six games behind three solo homers and Noah Cameron’s five shutout innings, officials said.

  • On Friday night, the Kansas City Royals secured their sixth consecutive victory, defeating the Detroit Tigers 5-2 behind solo home runs from Kyle Isbel, Vinnie Pasquantino, and Carter Jensen.
  • Bolstered by multi-hit performances from Isbel, Pasquantino, and Bobby Witt Jr., the Royals continue a 15-4 home stretch while the Tigers have lost three straight games and six of their last seven.
  • Kansas City starter Noah Cameron allowed two hits and walked three over five shutout innings, while the Royals capitalized on a fielding error by Kevin McGonigle to open scoring in the fourth.
  • Detroit mounted a seventh-inning comeback attempt with an RBI double from Zach McKinstry and a run-scoring single by McGonigle, yet stranded 11 runners throughout the game; Nate Pearson secured his third save with two outs in the ninth.
  • Saturday's pitching matchup features Tigers RHP Drew Anderson, holding a 4-4 record and 4.01 ERA, against Royals RHP Michael Wacha with a 6-8 record and 3.58 ERA.
