Slumping Tigers Lose 9th Straight
Alex Cano was the difference-maker for the Kansas City Royals in what turned into a shootout with the Detroit Tigers. Cano went 2-for-4 in the 13-10 Royals win. Johnny Wyrick, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 4.1 innings of relief. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 3. The defeat makes Detroit 4-11.

The game was decided with two out in the bottom of the ninth. With Kansas City trailing 10-9, Cano jumped on a sinker from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Henry Guerrero and hit a grand slam home run to left. With one swing, the Royals had a walk-off win.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Cano told the Kansas City Chronicle.
