Royals 9, Tigers 6
As Jim Leyland watched his Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night, he couldn't help thinking about his team's appearance in the 2006 World Series.
It wasn't a happy memory.
That team lost in five games to St. Louis, thanks in large part to a bewildering number of errors by the pitching staff, and the same thing happened in a regular season game against Kansas City.
This time, Detroit pitchers made three errors in a 9-6 loss to the Royals.
"You can not make those kind of mistakes, and we've been doing it all season," a disgusted Leyland said after the game. "You keep harping on this with the pitchers, but it is like they don't listen."
