MLB
The Tigers spotted the Royals a 3-0 lead, then roared back to claim a 7-5 victory last evening. Casey Mize gave up the three early runs, then settled down and pitched into the sixth. Homers by Zach McKinstry and Riley Greene tied the game, and Detroit built a four-run lead until K-C scored two off Will Vest in the top of the ninth. Greene’s homer was his 30th of the season. McKinstry finished a double shy of a cycle.
The Tigers have won 11 of their last 14 games, and host the Royals again tonight. Chris Paddack will start against Michael Wacha. Coverage will begin at 5:45 on 99.3 The Lift.

William Contreras’ solo home run with two out in the bottom of the ninth gave the Brewers a 5-4 walk-off win against the Blue Jays. Contreras also had an RBI double. Jose Quintana poitched into the sixth, and gave up two runs on two hits. Trevor Megill blew a save opportunity when he allowed a run to score on a wild pitch in the top of the ninth to tie the game, but also earned the win.
