Royals Hope Win Turns Around Slow Start
A 3-RBI performance from designated hitter Albert Pujols, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 2001, led the Kansas City Royals to a 8-5 win over the Detroit Tigers. Kansas City reliever Phil Hughes picked up the win to move to 1-0. Jonny Venters suffered the loss. The save was Carl Edwards Jr.'s, his 2nd.

Pujols had a game-changing single in the top of the seventh. On a 1-1 slider from Jonny Venters, he banged a 2-run single to center, giving the Royals a 6-5 lead. It was the 4th hit of the year for Pujols.

Pujols called winning a team effort. "It's not the same guy every time," he said. "It's the sum of the parts."

Kansas City is still hoping to get on a roll. The win is just their 2nd in 5 games.
