Matt Boyd will rejoin Tigers rotation and start Tuesday at White Sox, Ausmus confirmed. That's first day he can be called back up.

[coulomb]

J-up... J-clutch!

Love facing soria.. aha!

 

[kalinecountry]

Assmus brings in A Wilson with runners on base? No wonder they scored, one of the worst in allowing inherited runners to score.

More dumb farts on the bases with Kinsler getting picked off,

all up to KRod,

Tigers lead 6 - 5.

 

[gotime909]

Every member of the bullpen should have to find their own way to Chicago for the next series.

 

[gotime909]

Pitching to Gordon here?

 

[gotime909]

What a sloppy, disgusting showing for a win.

 

[coulomb]

Now thats a win!

 

[kalinecountry]

Tigers were lucky to win this game. Ausmus is still a minor leagues manager.

 

[UMRules06]

Still 10 games left vs Cleveland and KC who have given us fits all year. Luckily we also play 10 games against last place teams in the Twins and Braves.

Webvideo Highlights of the Tigers 6 - 5 win over the f'n royals.

2-out hitting — All four runs scored by Detroit in the seventh inning or later came with two outs.

Justin Upton — A two-run home run in the eighth helped the Tigers find the lead Alex Wilson misplaced a half-inning earlier.

J.D. Martinez — Hit his 20th home run of the season in the fourth inning. It landed in the fountain in left-center.

Shane Greene — Bailed the Tigers out of the seventh inning mess and pitched a scoreless eighth inning to shut KC down after retaking the lead.

Daniel Norris -- His final line didn’t look as good as he pitched, but for the first six innings he looked really great, keeping the pitch count manageable and striking out seven.

Ian Kinsler — 3-hit game. Bloody finish on his fingernail only added to the mystique.

Alex Wilson — He’s been better at keeping inherited runners away from home plate in the second half. This game, not so much. Both of Daniel Norris’ runners scored and so did two more runners of his own doing. Wilson gave up two hits and two walks in two-thirds off an inning.

Stats and stuff:
J.D. Martinez has hit 20 or more home runs for the third straight year.

Justin Upton also hit 20 or more home runs with his today. He did it for the fourth consecutive year.

The Tigers have five players with 20 or more home runs this year: Miguel Cabrera (29), Ian Kinsler (25), Victor Martinez (23), and J.D. Martinez and Upton both at 20.
The last time the Tigers had five was 1997, Clark, Easley, Fryman, Higginson, Nieves.

Martinez, Ian Kinsler, Justin Upton, Tyler Collins and Andrew Romine each had multi-hit games.

This was Kinsler’s seventh three-hit game and 47th multi-hit game of the season.

Four of Detroit’s six runs were scored with two outs, and all in the seventh inning or later.

Francisco Rodriguez gets the save, his 424th career to tie John Franco for 4th all-time. Kinsler gets unofficial save.

Big win? "Way big," Miguel Cabrera said.
Cabrera: "I think we understand if we keep playing inconsistent we're not going anywhere; we're going to go home. We don't want to go home."

A must win, a big win And really important win. Only 3 more against this team go 2out 3 and thing stay in the Tigers hands. The Cleveland series 7 games, could decide the Division then.
