Late Rally by Royals Secures Win
Kansas City starter Chris Sale pitched effectively against the Detroit Tigers at Kauffman Stadium. The left-hander led his team to a 6-4 win. The third-place Royals have won 4 straight.

Had Luis Valbuena not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Valbuena hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Royals.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Detroit manager Eric Dolegowski. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
