Detroit Tigers complete amazing comeback win over Kansas City Royals 6-5. In an exhilarating extra-innings contest, the Detroit Tigers triumphed over the Kansas City Royals with a thrilling 6-5 victory at Comerica Park. Bligh Madris had a standout performance going 3-for-4 with a home run and a double, driving in one run and scoring twice. The Tigers managed to claw their way back from multiple deficits, with key contributions from Javier Baez, who doubled to drive in a crucial run in the 9th inning. Parker Meadows sealed the game with a game-winning triple in the 11th, scoring Ryan Vilade. Jason Foley earned the win for Detroit, delivering two solid innings of relief, allowing two runs (none earned) while striking out one. The Royals' efforts were highlighted by Paul DeJong's two RBIs and Vinnie Pasquantino's solo home run. However, Royals' reliever James McArthur took the loss, surrendering the decisive runs in the 11th inning. With this victory, the Tigers continue to show resilience, improving their record to 53-59 on the season.

Jim Leyland was honored by the Detroit Tigers in a pregame ceremony retiring longtime manager Jim Leyland’s #10 jersey. Jim Leyland won 700 games as a manager for the Detroit Tigers from 2006 to 2013 and led the team to two World Series appearances in 2006 and 2012. Jim Leyland was inducted into the MLB Hall of Fame earlier this year as a member of the 2024 class.
