Staub Delivers in 12th to Stop Royals comeback
Detroit edged Kansas City 6 to 5 in 12 innings as Rusty Staub hit a two out single to drive in John Wackenfuss and snap a Royals rally. George Brett went 4 for 4 with two doubles, but John Hiller earned the win while Steve Mingori took the loss. The Tigers overcame a 5-0 deficit, aided by Staub’s fielding miscue moment in the sixth and late rally by Detroit.
