Just once I'd like to see them actually try to throw the runner out.

Good road win within the division. June can't come soon enough. Looks much easier than May on paper.

I'm a little shocked to see we are not even Top 10 in walks given up as a pitching staff. ESPN says we were 13th in MLB going into tonight. And we're 6th in MLB in Quality starts.

NOTABLE:
Miguel Cabrera is hitting .306 (34-for-110) with 21 RBIs over his last 30 games after posting a .107 average in his first eight games of the season.
Both managers had early hooks on Monday (decisions that looked less wise after the performances of both bullpens).
Royals manager Ned Yost removed Jason Hammel in the fifth with only one run in. (Relievers would surrender five more).
Left-hander Daniel Norris, who was OK over the first four innings, pitched a clean fifth inning. He threw five innings, allowing three runs on six hits with one walk and four strikeouts.
Ausmus didn't bring Daniel Norris back for the sixth, turning to the usually reliable Greene, who struggled Monday.
Jose Iglesias and Andrew Romine fumbled the transition on a potential 6-4-3 in the third inning. Two batters later, with the bases loaded, Iglesias got an identical grounder and the double play was turned smoothly to get Norris out of the inning.
J.D. Martinez ended an 0-for-14 skid with a three-run home run in the fifth. It was his eighth of the year.
Ausmus made two defensive substitutions in the ninth. Dixon Machado entered at second base, moving Andrew Romine to third in place of Nicholas Castellanos.
JaCoby Jones came in to play center field, shifting Alex Presley to right in place of J.D. Martinez.

Webvideo Highlight of the Tigers Win over the royals.
ROARS:
The offense: It took them a few innings to really get going, but the Tigers offense finally came alive, scoring 10 runs on 12 hits. Every Tiger hitter reached base at least once, and all but Andrew Romine — who was on base three times — scored a run.
Alex and Justin Wilson: Outside of a leadoff walk from Justin in the ninth, they slammed the door on any more comeback attempts after the Tigers offense took the lead in the top of the eighth.
HISSES:
Francisco Rodriguez: It was rather predictable, wasn’t it? Rodriguez was asked to navigate the heart of Kansas City’s lineup with a one-run lead and failed, coughing up two runs before recording an out. To his credit, he settled down from there to minimize the damage, but it was still a poor outing.
Shane Greene: He did not have his best outing either, and eventually allowed a pair of runs when Blaine Hardy could not strand the bases loaded.
