Detroit Tigers Rally Past Kansas City Royals in Thrilling 10-9 Game The Detroit Tigers staged a dramatic comeback in a rain-delayed game on Thursday, overcoming a five-run deficit to defeat the Kansas City Royals 10-9 in a thrilling matchup at Comerica Park. The game, which was delayed twice due to inclement weather, featured a dramatic ninth-inning rally that culminated in a walk-off single by Colt Keith, securing the Tigers' sixth straight victory after a five-game losing streak. The Royals, meanwhile, extended their losing skid to four games, all decided by one run, and fell to 2-7 in their last nine contests. The Tigers took an early lead, building a 5-0 advantage in the third inning thanks to a two-run homer by Dillon Dingler. However, the Royals mounted a furious response in the bottom of the seventh, erupting for six runs to take a 8-6 lead. Salvador Perez was instrumental in the rally, driving in four runs with a three-run homer that capped the inning. Vinnie Pasquantino also contributed with a solo home run, marking his first long ball of the season, while Bobby Witt Jr. added three hits and three RBIs to keep the Royals in contention. The game's momentum shifted dramatically in the ninth inning when the Tigers, trailing 9-7, staged a late rally. Gleyber Torres led off the frame with a single, and reliever Lucas Erceg walked Kevin McGonigle after a successful appeal on an ABS challenge. With two outs, Riley Greene delivered a clutch two-run double to right field on a full-count changeup, tying the game. Keith then singled to right on a 1-0 changeup, sending Greene home with the winning run. The Tigers' resilience was highlighted by their ability to recover from a significant deficit, with Connor Seabold earning the win by retiring four batters in the ninth.#detroit_tigers #kansas_city_royals #salvador_perez #comerica_park #colt_keith
