Starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez pitched well enough to help the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers by the score of 4-3. The winning pitcher was Gonzalez, now 3-5. He tossed 6 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 1 and fanning 4. Carl Edwards Jr. converted his 24th save in 27 tries.

The Royals got a big at-bat from left fielder Melky Cabrera. For the game, Cabrera was 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the top of the fifth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 2-run double. His 31st double of the season gave Kansas City a 3-2 lead.

"I was a little disappointed," said Detroit manager Eric Dolegowski. "We could've and should've scored more runs."

Kansas City is 4th in the American League Central Division with a record of 67-85.
