ROYALS 11 TIGERS 8 F...K.C. Hardball jumps all over VERLANDER and the Motor City KITTIES as the ROYALS move within 1/2 game of the AL Central lead..."WEEKDAY BENDERS" as the TIGERS have Company from Team I-70 Blue Hardball #KCvsDET

The Kansas City Royals fresh off a three-piece sweep on the South Side of Chi-City and a seven-game  Win Streak the Royals jumped all over Tigers Justin Verlander and the Tigers on Monday Night at Comerica. The Tigers were thumped so bad they needed Detroit S.W.A.T..

The Royals let Verlander and the Tigers think this was the old Royals Hardball all hype as the Tigers scored the fist two runs in the game leading 2-0 after four. Then the Royals put up all sorts of Crooked Numbers in the 5th, 6th, and 7th and laid the Smack Down on Detroit Hardball. The Royals pound out three singles and two doubles on Verlander in the 5th for a 4-2 lead. Then the big blow was a Omar Infante Three-Run Blast in the 6th sending Verlander to the shower. K.C. wasn't finished with Verlander gone in the 7th they tack on four more runs to lead 11-2. The Tigers did add a crooked six in the 9th as they get a "Granny" from Victor Martinez for a final score of 11-8.

Verlander Tab read like this...6 IP 12 H 7 R 7 ER 2 BB 2 SO 1 HR...and that is not good for a Pitcher that is on the hook for a 8-Mile Long worth of Dead Presidents. Royals Jason Vargas allowed two runs on seven hits as he gets the easy "W". K.C. moves to 37-32 and the Tigers 36-30 as a 1.2 game separates them in the Central. K.C. on an 8-game win streak...
