It looked like the Tigers would escape the seventh inning with their lead intact after Ryan Raburn gunned down Yuniesky Betancourt at home plate. But Bobby Seay and Ryan Perry weren't able to hold the Royals off, and now we'll have to see if this team has yet another comeback in them.
Oh, and when Clete Thomas didn't catch that foul ball in the right-field corner, you knew that was going to lead to something bad, right?
Royals 6, Tigers 5 going into the eighth inning.

Still in first and shaved off another game from the magic number, though.

I really dislike it when they interview the opposing team's players postgame
since they really only do so when it’s a loss for us.

yeah I'm not sure who wants to hear from the guy that made the winning hit
for the other team.

I did not like it when they started doing that last year
I usually put the TV on mute and listen to the radio postgame for a few minutes. The only one of the “opposing player” interviews I enjoyed was when they interviewed Pudge after the Astros beat the Tigers during Interleague play.
