DETROIT — The Tigers were dead in the water. No hits since the fifth inning.
Then, boom boom. Victor Reyes and Riley Greene hit back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the ninth and the Tigers escaped with a 4-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals Saturday at Comerica Park.
Before that, the only intensity came from the still smoldering feud between Tigers shortstop Javier Báez and Royals reliever Amir Garrett.
