Good job Nick Hagadone! He was a Victor product along with Masterson. When we made the deal, Hagadone was still considered likely to be a No. 2 or 3 starter but if he can be a solid lefty in the pen, which would allow trade of Raffy Perez, he and Justin could equal a pretty good return on that deal.

Lee for Marson, Donald, Carrasco isn't bad but would be ideal if Jason Knapp had not turnd out to be damaged goods.

CC for LaPorta, Brantley and Bryson is clearly the worst of those 3 exchanges.

We fail with two on and two out. Asdrubal proving to be mortal down the stretch. End of 7. A's 4 Tribe zip.

KC hitting in the fifth just tied Detroit at 3 and have runners on the corners.

Spot on Civ.

KC takes a 4-3 lead in the fifth. Runners on first and second now.

Bags packed with A's. Two down in the top of the 8th.

Kluber on in relief surrenders a base hit. A's score 2. We trail 6-0. Guess it makes no difference if we get beat by 1 or a dozen.

6-3 Royals still batting in the 5th.

Crisp singles. 7-0. Put out the white flags!

KC loads 'em up in the 5th.

Top of the 8th mercifully ends. Middle of 8, 7-0 A's on top.

KC with a 4 spot in the 5th takes a 6-3 lead heading into the bottom of 5.

We failed to score in the 8th. No a very good showing by the team after an electric win this morning.

Detroit answered with 2 runs of their own in their half of the 5th. 6-5 end of 5. KC still ahead by the slimmest of margins.

The resilience of the Detroit offense continues to raise its ugly face.
