Detroit Tigers at Kansas City Royals

On Friday night, Kyle Isbel blasted off with his Buzz Lightyear bat. On Saturday, he did the same with a Spider-Man bat. With custom bats designed for Players’ Weekend, Isbel homered on back-to-back nights, and his third-inning long ball on Saturday propelled the Royals to a 3-1 win over the Tigers at Kauffman Stadium, which extended Kansas City’s season-long win streak to seven games. The Royals haven’t lost since a week ago in Anaheim, and they have a chance for a homestand sweep with Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers on deck. “It’s what we know is in the tank,” starter Michael Wacha said. “We show up every day ready to compete, and we know it hadn’t gone well for us earlier in the year.

Looking to keep this thing rolling.” Isbel used the Buzz Lightyear bat on Friday, because his teammates sometimes call him ‘Buzz.’ On Saturday, he broke out the Spider-Man bat, because that’s the favorite superhero of Isbel’s son, Lane, whose name is also written on the bat.

Isbel even shot the Spider-Man web hands into the Royals’ dugout after the ball landed in the right-field seats. “Guys were joking around before the game, so I just shot it,” Isbel said. Isbel was just one of the heroes in the Royals’ win on Saturday. After Isbel put them on the board, Salvador Perez clobbered his 17th home run in the fourth inning to pad the lead. Jac Caglianone doubled in the sixth, moved to third on Perez’s groundout and scored on a wild pitch for insurance. By his celebration, Perez seemed more fired up for moving the runner than his home run. “As soon as they changed the pitcher, Vinnie \[Pasquantino\
