Playoff-bound Detroit missed a chance to clinch the AL Central when David DeJesus hit a two-run triple in Kansas City’s seven-run first inning, leading the Royals to a 9-6 victory over the Tigers on Saturday night.
Detroit would have clinched the division with a win after the Chicago White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 6-3 earlier in the day, cutting the Tigers’ magic number to one.
Following a 1 1/2-hour rain delay at the start, Kansas City sent 12 batters to the plate in the first inning.
