					| Tigers Prevail, 5-3, Over Kansas City |  
					| The Detroit Tigers topped the Kansas City Royals by the score of 5-3, with the biggest share of the credit going to catcher Emmanuel Gaskin. Gaskin was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Tigers on the day. Josh Thorpe came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings. His record now stands at 3-4.  The win makes Detroit 43-49. 
 Gaskin had a timely hit for Detroit in the bottom of the sixth. With Kansas City trailing 2-1, he turned a 0-1 fastball into a 3-run  home run. It was his 13th home run of the season, making it 4-2, Detroit.
 
 Gaskin called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
