Detroit third baseman Nolan Gorman helped his team beat the Kansas City Royals, 6-5. Gorman, who is tied for 8th in the AL with a .861 OPS, went 2 for 4 for the Tigers. The win belongs to Jhoan Duran in relief. His record improves to 4-5. James Karinchak took the loss for Kansas City. The win lifted the Detroit record to 87-72.

Santander said this kind of win gives the team "a buzz."
