Tigers 12, Royals 3
The Detroit Tigers probably played themselves out of the pennant race in July and early August.
In the last four days, though, they've looked like the team that led the AL Central before the All-Star break.
Monday, Ryan Raburn had three RBI and scored twice as the Tigers routed the Kansas City Royals 12-3. Jhonny Peralta and Brandon Inge also drove in three runs for Detroit, which is 4-0 since returning home and have outscored its opponents 31-6.
Detroit scored 12 times without a triple or a home run.
