The Tigers were probably due for a game like this. The squander returned with a bit of a vengeance, and one mistake from Wily Peralta put the Royals on top for good as they took the first game of the three game set 5-3.
Wily Peralta and lefty Kris Bubic were both pretty good early on in this one. The defense was sharp as well, and the first two innings passed with a Jonathan Schoop walk accounting for the only baserunner on either side.
One swing of the bat wiped away the Detroit Tigers seven-game winning streak.
Despite the Tigers (47-52) holding the Kansas City Royals hitless through 2⅔ innings, Ryan O Hearn s three-run home run in the fourth was enough to hand Detroit a 5-3 loss Friday in the series opener at Kauffman Stadium.
The Tigers had won their first seven games coming out of the All-Star break, sweeping a three-game series with the Minnesota Twins and a four-game set with the Texas Rangers. We got some hits, Tigers manager AJ Hinch said. We just didn t get the big hit. It s not frustrating. It s the big leagues. Those guys did a great job executing tough (defensive) plays.

Eric Haase hit a three-run home run and Victor Reyes drove in two runs as the Detroit Tigers completed a four-game sweep of the visiting Texas Rangers on Thursday afternoon.
The Tigers have won seven in a row to start the second half.
Closer Gregory Soto took the ball for the third consecutive day and closed out the Rangers for his 11th save. Soto breezed through the heart of the Rangers lineup with two strikeouts and needed only 12 pitches in the inning. Kyle Funkhouser (4-0) pitched two innings in relief to earn the win.

EL criollo suma 25 salvamentos con San Luis desde la temporada de 2016
El dominicano Alex Reyes logró su salvamento 23 de la temporada y el 25 desde el 2016 cuando los Cardenales de San Luis vencieron 3-2 a los Cachorros de Chicago.
Reyes, quien viene de participar en su primer Juego de Estrellas, trabajó la novena entrada con dos ponches para lograr el rescate. Solo ha desperdiciado una oportunidad de salvar este año.
Nolan Arenado fue el hombre clave a la ofensiva al conectar un cuadrangular de dos carreras en la tercera entrada. Fue su jonrón número 19 de la temporada.
