Baseball Betting Lines

07/22/2007 - Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brandon Inge's two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Detroit Tigers a 10-8 victory over the Kansas City Royals in the second of a three-game set from Comerica Park.

Sean Casey hit a one-out single with one out before Inge drove the first pitch he saw off reliever Joakim Soria (1-3) over the left-field wall for his 12th homer of the year.

"I like anybody who can score guys from first," said Detroit manager Jim Leyland. "And Brandon can score guys from first."

Ryan Raburn, Craig Monroe and Placido Polanco also homered for the Tigers, who have won five of six.

Detroit starter Justin Verlander went 5 2/3 innings, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on seven hits, with two walks and seven strikeouts. Chad Durbin (7-3) picked up the win by pitching a perfect 10th.

John Buck homered and Emil Brown drove in two runs for the Royals, who had a three-game winning streak snapped.

"They scored early and often, we scored late," said Brown. "We got back into the game but just couldn't close it"

Kansas City starter Jorge De La Rosa was tagged for seven runs on seven hits with two walks and a strikeout in 4 1/3 innings.

Kansas City got on the board in the first on Billy Butler's two-out RBI single.

Detroit, though, answered with two runs in the home half. Raburn led off with a homer to left, his first of the season and Monroe hit an RBI double to left with two outs.

The Royals tied the game at two in the top of the third. Tony Pena singled to right, advanced to third on Mark Teahen's two-out double and scored on a passed ball.

Monroe's two-out, three-run home run to left, his 10th of the season, gave the Tigers the lead for good in the bottom of the frame.

Buck led off the fifth with his 16th homer of the year, a shot to right center.

The Tigers extended their lead in the bottom half on RBI singles to left by Gary Sheffield and Ivan Rodriguez.

Brown cut Kansas City's deficit to 7-5 in the sixth with a two-RBI single to center.

Polanco's lead-off home run to left in the seventh was his fourth of the season.

The Royals again pulled to within two in the eighth when Teahen, who led off with a single, scored when Alex Gordon grounded into a fielder's choice.

Kansas City tied it in the top of the ninth with two runs off Detroit closer Todd Jones. David DeJesus' groundout made it 8-7, and Mark Grudzielanek's RBI single with one-out scored the tying run.

Game Notes

It was Jones' fifth blown save of the season...Verlander had a career-high three of the Tigers' four wild pitches...Buck's homer was originally ruled a double, but the Royals argued and the call was reversed. Replays showed the ball hit above the yellow home run line...The Tigers wore the uniforms of the Detroit Stars and the Royals wore the Kansas City Monarchs' uniforms as part of Negro League Weekend at Comerica Park...Butler has 20 RBIs in his last 13 games...Monroe's homer was his first since June 1 and his four RBI tied a season-high...Attendance was 43,408.
