Bobby Witt Jr. drove in five runs but it wasn’t enough against a young Tigers team desperate to steal their way into the postseason. Four of those runs came on a third inning grand slam, the transcendent shortstop’s 32nd home run of the season.

Colt Keith hit a two-run homer, Matt Vierling had three hits while driving in the go-ahead run, and the Detroit Tigers rallied from an early four-run deficit to beat the Kansas City Royals 7-6.
