Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch (14) walks off the field after pitching change during the eighth inning against Kansas City Royals at Comerica Park in Detroit on Thursday, April 17, 2025. Spencer Torkelson hit a three-run homer, Casey Mize pitched seven solid innings and the host Detroit Tigers edged the slumping Kansas City Royals, 3-1, on Saturday afternoon.
Torkelson has eight RBIs in the four-game series, which concludes on Sunday.
Mize (3-1) gave up one run and four hits. He struck out three and walked one in his longest outing since the 2021 season. Will Vest notched his first save.
Freddy Fermin homered for the Royals, who have lost six straight. Starter Seth Lugo gave up three runs and five hits with five strikeouts and two walks in 6 2/3 innings.
The Tigers had a threat in the second. Dillon Dingler led off with a double and moved to third on a grounder. Trey Sweeney drew a walk before Dingler was thrown out at home trying to score on Javier Baez’s comebacker. Ryan Kreidler then grounded out.
In the top of the fifth, Drew Waters reached on a throwing error by shortstop Sweeney. With two out, Jonathan India singled to put two runners on. Bobby Witt Jr. then lined out to left.
Baez sparked Detroit’s three-run fifth with a one-out single. Kerry Carpenter slapped a two-out, opposite field single before Torkelson drilled a 1-2 Lugo offering over the left-field wall.
Torkelson’s homer was his team-leading seventh this season.
Mize retired the first two batters in the seventh before Fermin jumped on a first-pitch sinker and lifted it over the left field wall. Fermin’s homer was his first of the season.
India led off the eighth against Brenan Hanifee with a double down the left-field line. Witt flied out and Vinnie Pasquantino lined out. Salvador Perez then hit a long fly ball that left fielder Carpenter hauled in against the wall.
Torkelson reached second in the bottom of the inning on a walk and sacrifice. The next two batters popped out.
Waters drew a 10-pitch walk with two out in the ninth and Fermin reached on an infield single. Kyle Isbel then popped out to end the game.

Souboj o vládu nad pěti kruhy. Kejval má poprvé soupeře
Před poslední volbou v roce 2021 se dost hlasitě jako Kejvalův vyzyvatel přihlásil Filip Neusser. Týden před volbou ale vláda Andreje Babiše jmenovala Neussera šéfem Národní sportovní agentury, a z třaskavé volby tak sešlo.Zatímco před čtyřmi lety se veřejný prostor dlouho plnil ostrými vyjádřeními zejména ze strany Neussera, letos alespoň navenek žádná výrazná kampaň neprobíhala.Oba kandidáti si vyjadřovali respekt. Však spolu v Českém olympijském výboru působí od roku 2012, 57letý Kejval v roli předsedy, o dva roky starší Varhaník má jako místopředseda na starosti ekonomiku. Varhaník se nijak výrazně proti současnému směřování ČOV nevymezuje, mluví o novém impulzu a energii pro český sport.Kdo by měl vést Český olympijský výbor?Jiří KejvalLibor VarhaníkCelkem hlasovalo 118 čtenářů.„Je strašně důležité, aby sportovní prostředí bylo silným a důstojným partnerem pro jednání s politickou reprezentací.

Chiefs picking up fifth-year options for CB Trent McDuffie, DE George Karlaftis, per report
Getty Images The Kansas City Chiefs will be keeping two important defenders around for at least another year. The Chiefs plan to pick up the fifth-year options on the rookie contracts of cornerback Trent McDuffie and edge rusher George Karlaftis, according to ESPN. Picking up those options will tie McDuffie and Karlaftis to the Chiefs through the 2026 season. As CBS Sports contributor and former NFL agent Joel Corry noted, McDuffie's fifth-year option will pay $13.362 million, while Karlaftis' will cost the Chiefs $15.196 million for that 2026 campaign. Both of those deals would be considered bargains relative to the value the players provide with their level of play. These are two vital cogs in the Chiefs' defense, which has been leaned on more in recent seasons as the offense has continued to evolve toward a more ball-control, run-and-short-pass unit in response […]
