					| Tigers Stumble, Lose to Royals |  
					| The home crowd had a good time watching the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals get after it. 
 A good performance from third baseman Mike Meyerhoff helped the Kansas City Royals defeat the Detroit Tigers, 9-3. Meyerhoff went 2-4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for the Royals. The winning pitcher was Matt Evans. He tossed 109 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 5 hits.
 
 Meyerhoff contributed a big hit, a 3-run  home run, for Kansas City in the bottom of the fifth. With his team trailing 3-2, Meyerhoff took a changeup from Steve McGaughey and stroked the home run to center. His 30th home run of the season allowed the Royals to leap in front, 5-3.
 
 "If the personal accolades come, so be it," said Meyerhoff. "I just want to win ballgames."
 
 Kansas City has now won 3 in a row.
