Meadows gives Detroit lead with broken-bat single in the 10th, Tigers hold on to beat Royals 3-1

Associated Press  

— Parker Meadows hit a broken-bat single in the 10th inning to give Detroit the lead, moments after Trey Sweeney had been given third base because of a balk, and the Tigers went on to beat the Kansas City Royals 3-1 on Tuesday night. “That was a classic pitching duel the whole night.” Cole Ragans allowed one run on four hits and four walks with six strikeouts over seven innings for Kansas City, and Casey Mize allowed one run on six hits and four walks while pitching into the fifth for Detroit. “We found a way,” Mize said, “and that’s obviously the most important thing right now.” Ragans struggled with his control from the onset, hitting Andy Ibáñez to start the game — Matt Vierling followed with an RBI double — and walking a pair in the fourth inning. “Our team is just resilient and that’s what is important.” WONDERFUL WITT The Royals’ Bobby Witt Jr. became the first shortstop in major league history with multiple seasons of at least 30 homers and 30 steals when the All-Star swiped second base in the first inning.
