Spencer Torkelson's homer pushes Tigers past Royals, 2-1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Royals starter Brad Keller had the Tigers’ offense in a vice grip Friday night, allowing just one single over the first six innings. He took a 1-0 lead into the seventh.

When he went back to the dugout three outs later, he was down by a run and the Tigers were on their way to a 2-1 win at Kauffman Stadium.

Miguel Cabrera lashed a one-out double to right center in the seventh inning to start the rally. It was the 2,995th career hit and 599th double of his career. He is looking to become the seventh player ever to produce 3,000 hits and 500 home runs.
