Tigers' Late Rally Seals Dramatic Win Over Royals
24 Jul
Summary
- James Outman's seventh-inning homer gave the Tigers a crucial lead.
- Dillon Dingler hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning.
- The Tigers have won 14 of their last 19 games.
The Detroit Tigers continued their impressive surge on Thursday night, securing a dramatic 4-3 victory against the Kansas City Royals. James Outman ignited the comeback with a go-ahead three-run homer in the seventh inning. Dillon Dingler then provided the decisive blow, hitting a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning to seal the win.
This recent success, marked by 14 wins in their last 19 games, has the Tigers playing their best baseball of the season. The team's performance is raising questions about potential playoff pushes and whether the franchise will hold onto key assets like pitcher Tarik Skubal.
Skubal himself expressed a preference to finish the season with Detroit and compete for a championship, though he acknowledged his upcoming start against the Royals could be his last with the team. Meanwhile, Royals manager Matt Quatraro was absent from the game due to a personal matter, with his return expected soon.
