Late home run sinks Royals in Detroit comeback
Tigers catcher Ivan Rodriguez hit a three run homer off David Riske in the ninth after Bruce Guillen? Wait. The rally started with Magglio Ordonez doubling and Carlos Guillen walking. Rodriguez's 20th career homer against Kansas City, a left field shot off the fastball down the middle, gave Detroit a 3-2 win. Fernando Rodney pitched the eighth for the win, Todd Jones earned the save. Riske suffered the blown save as KC led the majors last year with 31 saves.
