Kansas City Royals 3 – 4 Detroit Tigers

MLB · July 23, 2026 · Final
🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Detroit Tigers took down the Kansas City Royals tonight, four to three, in a game that turned completely on its head in the seventh inning.

Kansas City came out swinging. Collins got things going with a two-run shot to right in the sixth, a four-hundred-and-ninety-foot blast that plated Massey and gave the Royals a two-nothing cushion. It looked like Kansas City was in control heading into the late innings.

Then Detroit flipped the script. Outman stepped up in the seventh and crushed a three-run homer to right center, three hundred and sixty-four feet, scoring Dingler and Carpenter — just like that, the Tigers had a three-to-two lead and all the momentum in the ballpark.

Kansas City answered right back in the eighth. Rojas singled to center, Tolbert came around to score, and we were knotted at three. But Detroit wasn't finished. Dingler — who had already scored on that Outman blast — came up and doubled to left, scoring Lee, and that proved to be the decisive blow.

Vinnie Pasquantino was the one bright spot in the Kansas City lineup, going two for four, but the Royals simply couldn't generate enough run support when it mattered most. Dingler was the quiet engine for Detroit, contributing in multiple innings and delivering when the game was on the line.

In the end, Detroit's seventh-inning surge was too much for Kansas City to fully overcome. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
