Riley Greene’s two-run swing and a steady Tigers bullpen carried Detroit to a 5-3 win in Kansas City, reversing an early 3-0 deficit. Greene’s 32nd home run and 100th RBI underscored a power spike while Javier Báez, Colt Keith, and Gleyber Torres supplied key run-scoring hits to grab the lead in the middle innings. Kyle Finnegan locked down a tense seventh, and Dingler padded the cushion with his 12th homer, as A.J. Hinch navigated nearly six innings of relief.

The Royals jumped ahead with a 3-0 first before Mike Yastrzemski homered on Paddack’s first pitch and Maikel Garcia followed with a two-out shot, but Detroit answered with back-to-back-to-back hits to tie and Greene’s milestone basher put them in front. Seven pitchers combined for the win, with Detroit’s outfield defense also coming through in a handful of high-leverage moments.

Off the field, a travel-delay and an off day loomed, but Detroit stayed focused, snapping a four-game skid and strengthening its late-season push. Fantasy takeaway: Greene’s RBI pace remains elite; the Tigers’ bullpen depth gives you late-inning upside; KC’s starter trio showed volatility, signaling risk on the road for Royals backers.
