Well that's not going to work

Cleveland won
Baltimore won

Tigers can't afford to keep losing to the royals and Indians

I'm going to bed f'k this
 
Screw all those gamecast kc fans yucking it up after taking thier first lead..
 
Now KRod needs to take advantage of his blown save second chance, and call up a win.
 
Any win on an Anibal Sanchez start these days is a bonus.
 
Fabulous. .goodnight from a campground in northern michigan! !!!!

Webvideo Highlights of the Tigers 7 - 6 win over the royals.

Justin Upton: Drove in runs his first two at-bats with a solo home run to deep center and a single up the middle.
It was his 19th of the season and his sixth in the last 11 games. The Tigers are now 9-3 since he returned from a slump-induced layoff. He homered Friday to help the Tigers take an early lead.

Miguel Cabrera: Saw Justin Upton’s home and hit it even farther, sending it over the fountain in left-center to give the Tigers at 5-3 lead in the seventh inning. It went 454 feet, per StatCast.
Later Cabrera drove in two more runs in the ninth (his fourth RBI of the night) to give the Tigers a 7-6 lead. Miggy finished 3-for-5. Cabrera's 108 career RBIs against the Royals are the third most among active players. His teammate, Victor Martinez, is tops with 116.

Tigers bullpen: Alex Wilson looked great.
Shane Green bailed out Justin Wilson in the seventh and got the first two outs of the eighth. It was JWilson's first run allowed since Aug. 17, a span of seven outings and 6 2/3 innings.

Tigers bullpen: Justin Wilson gave up a run on three straight hits to start the seventh inning before being pulled.
Shane Greene escaped the seventh but left two base runners on in the eighth, and even though Francisco Rodriguez made his pitch the Royals managed to score two runs to take a 6-5 lead in the eighth.

JaCoby Jones became the first rookie to start his first two games at third base and center field since Jack Stansbury did so in 1918. Jones' third game on Friday night didn't go as memorably. He struck out three times against Danny Duffy on only 11 pitches.

James McCann broke an 0-for-12 skid with a single in the sixth.

Stats and stuff
Miguel Cabrera, with his third inning RBI single, recorded his 1,004th career RBI, breaking a tie with Alan Trammell to own sole possession of 10th-most RBI all-time for the franchise.
Cabrera has 1,530 RBIs for his career against all opponents, 260 of which have come in September.
Cabrera’s seventh-inning home run was the 437th of his career and 299th in the Tigers’ uniform. His next home run will make him the fourth to hit 300 for the franchise.
