Abraham Almonte hit a grand slam in the sixth inning and Mike Moustakas smacked a tie-breaking three-run homer in the seventh as the Royals defeated the Tigers 8-5 in Detroit.
Moustakas extended his hitting streak to 14 games.
Whit Merrifield homered to leadoff the sixth, the first Kansas City hit off Francisco Liriano. Liriano yielded three runs on two hits and four walks over five-and-one-third innings for the Tigers.
Nicholas Castellanos led the Detroit offense with three hits and two RBI.
The Tigers are off today. They begin a six-game road trip tomorrow with the first of a three-game series against the Pirates in Pittsburgh.
