					| Royals Win, 5-4, at Detroit |  
					| The Kansas City Royals withstood an impressive performance by Detroit shortstop Adrian Novakovic to defeat the Tigers, 5-4, at Comerica Park. Novakovic was 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles,  and a walk.   The third-place Royals sport a record of 51-52. 
 Manny Estrada, the 27-year old first baseman , had a direct impact on the outcome. Estrada contributed a run-scoring  walk in the top of the third inning to put Kansas City up, 5-1.
 
 "We'll take some time to unwind," said Estrada, "and then get after it again."
