Detroit Tigers Lose To Royals, 4-3
August 7, 2011 7:47 PM 
45 minutes later, Miguel Cabrera kept the rally going and drove home the Tigers’ 3rd run and things looked promising for a possible Detroit sweep. As suddenly as the storm blew in, the Tiger bats went cold again and Detroit would score no more. The Tigers outhit the Royals 10-6, but KC made the most of their opportunities. Max Scherzer took the loss for the Tigers, his record is now 11-7. Scherzer has run into some tough luck as of late, winning only three of his last ten starts. The Tigers are now 61-53 and still in first place in the American League Central division, leading Cleveland by 3 and a half after this afternoon’s loss. Cleveland plays at Texas tonight, and pending the outcome of that game the Tigers could have a 4 game or a 3 game lead over the Indians. Detroit has an off day tomorrow, then travels to Cleveland for a 3-game showdown with their division rivals. The Tigers and Indians have 12 more games against each other this season, including 3 games at Comerica park to end the regular season. The Central Division title may not be decided until the very end.
