Tigers Fans Fumes Meet Royals Power at Detroit
Detroit hosted Kansas City in a late season clash as Frank White launched a two run homer in the ninth to give the Royals a 6 5 win over the Tigers in front of 37016 at Tiger Stadium. Dan Quisenberry earned the victory with two scoreless innings, while Darrell Porter and George Brett homered for KC and Lance Parrish produced Detroit's 17th homer. Tigers' Dan Schatzeder took the loss after allowing three homers. The crowd roared as Detroit loaded the bases in the ninth before a double play ended the threat. The Tigers fall from a five game win streak and prepare to host Kansas City again with Milt Wilcox facing Dennis Leonard.
