(AP) — Miguel Cabrera drove in the tying and go-ahead runs, matching Ted Williams for 14th place on the career RBI list, and the Detroit Tigers rallied past the Kansas City Royals 7-5 to snap a four-game skid.
Cabrera’s sacrifice fly in the fifth inning made it 3-3, and he had an RBI grounder for the Tigers’ first run in a four-run seventh. He equaled Williams with 1,838 RBIs. Later in the seventh, Cabrera stole third and scored on a wild throw.
It was just his second stolen base in the past seven seasons. The Royals committed four errors as their three-game winning streak ended.
The Royals take on the Tigers again Wednesday afternoon with first pitch at 1:10 central on KFEQ Radio (680, 95.3) in St. Joseph.
