Detroit Tigers struggled against the Kansas City Royals late in extra innings. Ramon Santiago and Scott Sizemore both miss handled the ball allowing a base hit off a ground ball, and the winning run to score off a juggled relay throw.
The Tigers batted .291 but stranded 15 runners through 11 innings of play. Miguel Cabrera tied it up in the top of the ninth inning with a solo home run off the right field foul pole. But that wasn't enough as they lost their first game of the season.
Today Dontrelle Willis will start for the Tigers for their last game before opening day in Detroit, where they hope to win the series against the Royals and start off the season 2-1.
