Zach McKinstry had three hits, including a homer, and scored twice as the Detroit Tigers rallied for a 7-5 win against the Kansas City Royals

Royals starter Michael Wacha ended his night with a 15-pitch battle against Dillon Dingler in the sixth. Dingler fouled off nine pitches before being rung up on a called third strike that appeared well outside the zone. Two runners were stranded, and Wacha exited with a quality start, allowing three runs over six innings.

Between Rogers' hits, The Tigers took a 2-1 advantage on a solo home run from Spencer Torkelson in the fourth inning. He crushed Wacha's middle-middle cutter for a 408-foot home run — his 27th homer in 125 games.
