DETROIT - These plucky Kansas City Royals are just full of surprises. Jarrod Dyson doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the fifth inning and the Royals bullpen preserved another lead, holding off the Detroit Tigers 3-2 Monday to complete a four-game sweep on the road for the first time since 1999. The Royals, who haven’t finished over .500 since winning the 2015 World Series, have won a season-high five straight and own the best record in the American League at 14-7. Detroit (7-16) has the worst record in the majors after losing 10 of its last 11 games and is off to its worst start since 2003. Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
