Vinnie Pasquantino clubbed his sixth homer in seven games, a two-run shot, and the visiting Kansas City Royals salvaged the finale of a three-game series with a 10-8 win over the Detroit Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
Kyle Isbel also drove in two runs, while Maikel Garcia had two hits, including a solo homer, and scored twice. Every starter in the Royals lineup contributed at least one hit.
Kansas City starter Seth Lugo gave up six runs and six hits in 4 1/3 innings.
John Schreiber (3-2) tossed 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief for the victory. Carlos Estevez got the last three outs for his 34th save.
Jahmai Jones had a three-run double for the Tigers, who saw their five-game winning streak snapped. Riley Greene smashed a solo homer and scored three runs. Wenceel Perez and Spencer Torkelson added solo shots.
Detroit starter Jack Flaherty (7-13) was charged with eight runs on 10 hits in five-plus innings.
Greene hit his 31st homer in the second inning. The Royals then scored six two-out runs in the third.
Flaherty retired the first eight batters he faced but then gave up seven consecutive hits. Mike Yastrzemski drove in the first run with a double. Bobby Witt Jr. followed with an RBI single and Pasquantino blasted his two-run homer to right. Doubles by Salvador Perez and Adam Frazier brought in the next two runs.
Detroit loaded the bases in the fourth and Jones cleared them with his double to left-center to pull Detroit within two runs.
The Tigers then took the lead in the fifth. Perez led off with a homer. Dillon Dingler tied the score with a two-out, RBI double and he scored on Zack McKinstry's single to give the hosts a 7-6 lead.
Kansas City regained the lead in the sixth on Isbel's two-run single. He scored later in the inning on Tyler Holton's wild pitch.
The Royals made it 10-7 in the seventh on Garcia's leadoff homer against Brenan Hanifee.
