Royals 3, Tigers 1
DETROIT — Bruce Chen retired 10 in a row at one point for the Royals. Kansas City's previous four wins had come in its last at-bat. The only dramatics came in the eighth, when the Tigers loaded the bases with two outs, but Magglio Ordonez popped up on Robinson Tejeda's only pitch of the game. Phil Coke, being converted into a starter after three seasons in the bullpen, allowed two runs in the second then retired 12 in a row.
