Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals
Final
Recap
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Gage Workman came off the bench and hit his first major league homer, a two-run shot that sent the Detroit Tigers past the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Sunday night to snap a five-game losing streak. Matt Vierling had a two-run double and Riley Greene reached safely four times as the Tigers prevented a three-game sweep. Called up hours earlier from Triple-A Toledo when Kerry Carpenter was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder sprain, Workman entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning.
