Heartbreak in Kansas City
Tigers fans, it's tough to swallow a narrow defeat like this one, especially when our pitching kept us in the game until the very end. The final score of 1-0 in favor of the Royals doesn't quite capture the pitchers' duel we witnessed. But alas, with baseball, it's all about seizing those few opportunities
️.Solid Pitching, Woes at the Plate
Our batters had a tough time getting anything going against Kansas City. Unfortunately, early outs were the theme, with Kerry Carpenter, Gleyber Torres, and Colt Keith all going down in the initial inning. It was a series of strikeouts and ground outs, with our hitters struggling to find their rhythm at the plate. Credit goes to the Royals' pitching staff, who kept our lineup in check with relentless precision. Notably, Keith gave us some hope in the 7th and 9th innings with his singles, yet we couldn't capitalize and bring him home.An Unfortunate Turn
The game ultimately turned on a single run in the bottom of the 8th inning. Drew Waters came in to bat for Mark Canha, paving the way for Nick Loftin to double and eventually score on Vinnie Pasquantino's single to left field. Despite our efforts, we just couldn't crack the Royals' defense to respond.While this one didn't end in our favor, Tigers nation knows that resilience is key. Let's take this as a learning experience and look forward to the next game. Let's go Tigers!
