Gordon threw the ball back to the infield Moustakas was the relay man. That brought Andrew Romine to the plate, who hit a shallow flyball to Alex Gordon for the second out of the inning, not deep enough to score Martinez.

Martinez smacked a leadoff single, advancing to third on a Bryan Holaday single. Detroit ended up tying the game in the fourth. Ian Kinsler halved the Royals lead in the top half of the third, blasting a solo homer off Jeremy Guthrie to start the frame. Escobar plated Infante with a two-out double, lining a pitch off the wall in the left field corner, just missing a homer. Omar Infante collected a one-out single, advancing to second on a Mike Moustakas groundout. The good guys picked up another run in the second. Butler delivered a RBI-single, roping a Porcello offering to centerfield to give KC a 1-0 advantage. That brought runners to the corners for Billy Butler, possibly playing his final game at Kauffman Stadium in Royal Blue. Lorenzo Cain hit a two-out single, and Eric Hosmer followed with a single of his own. Alcides Escobar led off the game with a single against Rick Porcello, but was promptly caught stealing. The Royals scored first thanks to a two-out rally.

The Kansas City Royals picked up a much needed win on Sunday, defeating the Detroit Tigers 5-2 at Kauffman Stadium.
