Tigers 5, Royals 2
DETROIT — Free agent pickup Victor Martinez hit a three-run double in his first home at-bat for the Tigers. "You look up, you see a full house. That makes you bring your 'A' game every time," Martinez said. "I think that's the easiest way to become a fan favorite," teammate Max Scherzer said. "How many Victor Martinez jerseys did you just sell?" Jhonny Peralta drove in two runs for the Tigers, who had lost four of six to start the year.
