The Royals have won six of his last seven starts; he is 4-0 with a 2.25 ERA over that span.I wanted to get deep into that game, as deep as I could, Brady said. I think I came out well on the attack. The slider was kind of a pitch today that helped me the most. The fastball kind of came later in the game.Royals manager Mike Matheny said: It was Brady as good as weve seen him all season. He had six strikeouts today, the majority with the slider, but the sinker was good, too. They played off each other really well.In 10 career starts against Detroit, Singer is 6-0 with a 2.44 ERA; 35 % of his 17 career victories have come at the Tigers expense Rodney Hood Jersey .I dont care who Brady was facing (today), Matheny said. The way he threw the ball, he was going to do very well.Kansas City got on the board early with Nick Prattos sacrifice fly scoring Bobby Witt Jr. in the first inning.Witt had a pair of hits, including a double for his 51st extra-base hit, leading all major league rookies. Each of the Royals RBIs JaVale McGee Jersey were contributed by rookies.Drew Waters two-out double into the right-field corner scored Michael A.

Ma seys second homer of the season made it 4-0.The hitting (coaches) did a great job with the (pregame) report and just from watching the game, I could tell he liked to get ahead, Ma sey said. I was just trying to get a good pitch early and I was able to put a pretty good swing on it.Alexander (3-10) went five innings, allowing four runs on six hits and a walk.Spencer Torkelson had the Tigers only extra-base hit, a one-out double in the seventh.UP NEXTTigers: Detroit and LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (3-4, 4.13 ERA) open a three-game series Monday by hosting the Houston Astros and LHP Framber Valdez (14-5, 2.64).Royals: Kansas City and LHP Kris Larry Nance Jr. Jersey Bubic (2-11, 5.40) travel to begin a three-game series in Minnesota facing RHP Joe Ryan (10-8, 4.05) on Tuesday.___More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports in this topic Kansas City Royals American League Major League Baseball Brady Singer Eduardo Rodriguez Brady Singer Kris Bubic Framber Valdez Tyler Alexander Kansas City Royals Detroit Tigers share Ronaldo looks to shine like Mbapp and Me si at World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo has been overshadowed by the brilliance of Lionel Me si and Kylian Mbapp so far at the World Cup 28 MINS AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ottawa hosts Los Angeles after Giroux's 2-goal game The Ottawa Senators host the Los Angeles Kings after Claude Giroux's two-goal game against the San Jose Sharks in the NBA Cleveland Cavaliers Jeresy Senators' 5-2 win 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Penguins host the Blue Jackets following Kapanen's hat trick The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Columbus Blue Jackets after Kasperi Kapanen's hat trick against the St. Louis Blues in the Penguins' 6-2 win 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Ducks bring losing streak into game against the Hurricanes The Anaheim Ducks aim to end their six-game losing streak when they play the Carolina Hurricanes 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS Blackhawks face the Metropolitan Division-leading Devils The Chicago Blackhawks face the top-ranked team in the Metropolitan Division, the New Jersey Devils 1 HOUR AGO ASSOCIATED PRESS
