And here is Framber Valdez.

Royals are hoping for a similar result today against Valdez.
Lane Thomas is in the box.
Fastball sliced in the air down the right field line, back toward the corner.
Carpenter turns around.
It’s into the hedges, a home run.
One-nothing Royals, one batter into the game.
What a nice swing and a great start for the Royals.
One-nothing.
Runner on, nobody out.
And now the Royals franchise leader in home runs in Salvador Perez.
Inside, and clip Salvy.
Got him on the elbow.
You can see Framber’s frustrated right now.
He’s gotta learn to control, get that, get that emotion under control.
There’s a lot of baseball to be played here.

It’s high, ball four.
Collins draws a walk.
He’s gotta make pitches in the big league.
You know, Framber, he’s got the stuff to get out.
But you can’t walk that guy.
That loads the bases for Tyler Tolbert.
It’s on the ground to the right side.
Tough hop, and no play.
And the Royals get a second run.
An error by the second baseman, Ha-Yung Lee.
He knew he had to hurry with Tolbert running.
Will take it.
Ha-Yung Lee leads off.
Currently on a 10 game hit streak.
Tigers need base runners, need to put a little pressure on Lewin Diaz Avila.
That’s ball one.
It is a swing and a fly ball, center field, well struck.

Thomas going back, and this one’s gonna one hop the wall.
He’s got another knock.
Heading to second, he’s got the jets rolling.
He’s gonna turn on.
Second hole there with a lead-off double, making an 11 game hitting streak, and Bobby, longest ever hitting streak by a Taiwanese-born player in Major League history.
Ha-Yung Lee just continues to mash.
Matt Strahm to face lefty Riley Green.
Strahm is not having a good year.
Bottom of the fifth, one out.
Bases are full of Tigers.
Softly, and through somehow.
Lee and Keith score, and Riley Green makes it to second.
How did that ball get through?

Tigers are within one.
Oh, my goodness.
Dylan Dingler the play now.
Infield in for the Royals.
Into center field.
They say, will they send Riley Green?
They are.
Dylan boys got that one right on a wheelie.
Riley Green will score without a throw.
Tigers have bounced back, scored four, taken the lead in the fifth.
Dylan Dingler, with the infield drawn in, shoots one back through the box.
That’s what this guy has done all season long.
Tigers go ahead.
This has been unbelievable, G. This is what this game is about right here.
Six consecutive games at this ballpark decided by one run, and we’re staring down the barrel of another one today.

Brings up Michael Massey.
Here’s the pitch.
Collins runs.
Breaking ball, hit in the air, deep right field.

He looks up at the stands.
It’s outta here.
Michael Massey flips this game with one swing.
It remains a one run game, but now it’s the Royals in front.
It is Steven Cruz on the mound.
Runners on first and second, nobody out.
Steven Cruz cuts through the Tigers in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Royals leave Detroit with a series split.
