Game 18: Tigers at Royals

The Tigers wrap up their road trip with a win over the Royals! They won 5 and lost 4 winning the series in Seattle and Kansas City and losing the one in LA. They were not swept in any series. In the last week they averaged 6.33 runs per games. That is just a 1/3 of a run better than the 6 runs they gave up per game.

They gave up 10 runs in two separate games in LAA, but amazingly managed to win one of them.

Brandon Inge continues to hit very well. He has 7 homers after today and is batting .323. Cabrera is hitting .382 and Anderson is at .364. Granderson has worked his average up to .250 with a great series in LAA and he has 6 home runs.

So overall the Tigers finished the week above .500. They start their series against the Yankees in 1st place in the AL Central. The White Sox lost today so the Tigers have a 1 game lead in their division.

They are playing well. They are not playing great, but they are playing well. In the Central this may be enough.
