Spencer Torkelson and pinch hitter Andy Ibanez hit solo homers and the host Detroit Tigers extended their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jake Rogers had two hits and two RBIs for the Tigers, while starter Chris Paddack (5-11) gave up one run on five hits in five innings. Will Vest got the last four outs for his 19th save.<\/p>\n

Bobby Witt Jr. led the Royals offense with three hits, including a solo homer. Vinnie Pasquantino\u2019s franchise-tying record of homering in five straight games was snapped, but he did have an RBI double.<\/p>\n

Kansas City starter Michael Wacha (8-10) allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings.<\/p>\n

Javier Baez smacked a one-out single in the third and Rogers followed with a double that landed just inside the left field line. Baez scored but Rogers got caught in a rundown and was tagged out.<\/p>\n

Kansas City tied it in the fourth. Witt led off with a single, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Pasquantino\u2019s double down the right field line.<\/p>\n

Torkelson put Detroit back on top in the bottom of the inning with his 27th homer, blasting a Wacha cutter over the left-center field wall.<\/p>\n

The Tigers made it 3-1 in the fifth. Zach McKinstry reached on a single and was on the move with two outs and a full count to Rogers. The Tigers catcher ripped a base hit into left center and McKinstry came all the way around to score.<\/p>\n

Troy Melton replaced Paddack and Witt jumped on his first pitch and drove it over the left field wall to cut Detroit\u2019s lead to one.<\/p>\n

Detroit had two baserunners with two outs in the sixth. Dillon Dingler had a 15-pitch at-bat against Wacha before being called out on strikes.<\/p>\n

After Kansas City put two runners on with one out in the seventh, Tyler Holton replaced Melton and induced Nick Loftin to bounce into a double play.<\/p>\n

Ibanez gave Detroit some breathing room when he led off the eighth with his homer against Sam Long over the left-center field wall.<\/p>\n
