Balboni's Ninth Inning Shot Lifts Royals Over Tigers
Kansas City manager Dick Howser sticks with slumping Steve Balboni as his ninth inning homer breaks a 2-2 tie and sends the Royals to a 5-2 win over Detroit. Balboni adds a single, runs his hit streak to 12 and his season total to 21. Danny Jackson earns the win, Dan Quisenberry seals the save, and Balboni's blast comes after a controversial plate call. The Tigers drop as Kansas City tightens in the AL West race.
