Victory for the Tigers! 
Fellow Tigers fans, what a game we just witnessed! Our Detroit Tigers took on the Kansas City Royals, and despite a slow start, our boys pulled through in the end with a solid 7-5 win. Let's dive into how the action unfolded.Early Struggles 
It seemed like a tough day at the office initially as the Tigers couldn't get much going at the plate through the first couple of innings. Meanwhile, the Royals managed to take an early lead in the 3rd inning with Bobby Witt Jr. and Salvador Perez driving in some runs, putting the Royals ahead 3-0. But fear not, because Zach McKinstry answered back with a solo homer in the bottom of the 3rd, getting us on the scoreboard at 3-1.Tigers Roar Back 
By the bottom of the 6th, we were trailing, but Riley Greene came through in the clutch with a fantastic two-run homer that leveled the game at 3-3. That was the spark our team needed! And then in the 7th inning, a remarkable series of events, including a throwing error by the Royals' right fielder, allowed Javier Báez and Andy Ibáñez to tack on more runs. Gleyber Torres and Wenceel Perez contributed as well, driving the score to a commanding 7-3.Closing Out Strong 
Though the Royals tried to rally in the 9th with Vinnie Pasquantino's two-run home run, our bullpen held firm and closed out the game at 7-5. The late-game heroics from our lineup made all the difference, and let's not forget the key defensive plays that denied potential runs from the Royals.Way to go, Tigers! Let's keep this momentum rolling into the next game.
