The Kansas City Royals were winners Tuesday night. They shut out the Detroit Tigers 1-0.
Three Royals pitchers combined to shut out the Tigers on 2 hits.
Daniel Lynch pitched 7 innings giving up 1 hit, 2 walks, and 2 strikeouts.
Aroldis Chapman pitched a scoreless 8th inning and Scott Barlow earned his 8th save.
The Royals scored their lone run in the 6th inning when Maikel Garcia scored on a Matt Beaty double.
The Royals and Tigers wrap up their 3-game series Wednesday afternoon. Brady Singer will be the starting pitcher for the Royals. The first pitch is set for 12:10. The game will be broadcast on KVOE 1400AM/96.9FM.
Two days after the Royals designated Michael Mayers for assignment, he is headed back to Omaha to continue to serve as pitching depth for Kansas City. No club picked up the 31-year-old right-hander on waivers after his DFA, so he was able to declare free agency or accept an assignment to Omaha. He selected Omaha.
