Royals 7, Tigers 2
Royals manager Ned Yost had a pretty good feeling Sunday when he realized that Brian Bannister was pitching a day game against the Detroit Tigers.
"Historically, he pitches very well in day games. He's done very well against the Tigers. He's won every game since I've been here, knock on wood," Yost said.
No need to worry about bad omens.
Bannister won his fifth straight start, behind a three-run homer from Jose Guillen, as Kansas City breezed to a 7-2 victory over the Tigers.
"He never throws anything straight," Yost said of his pitcher. "His fastball cuts one way, his changeup cuts the other. So it's very difficult to get a read on as a hitter."
