Tigers Topple Royals with Late Rally
The Detroit Tigers defeated the Kansas City Royals, 15-10. Doing his part was second baseman Jimmy O'Molloy, who was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winner in relief was Jose Quijada. The left-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. He now owns a record of 5-1. The Tigers have now won 4 straight.

Luis Guillorme had a nice at-bat for the Tigers with no one out in the top of the eighth. With the bases loaded, the shortstop drew a walk, driving in 1 run, which would prove important in the Detroit win.

"It was offense that won us the game," said winning manager Ray Hayward.
