Bubic gave up only two hits and a walk while striking out six. He allowed just three earned runs over 23 innings in four outings against Detroit this season. Scott Barlow survived a shaky ninth for his 16th save. Whit Merrifield had three hits and scored for Kansas City. Andrew Benintendi contributed two hits and an RBI. Tigers starter Wily Peralta carried a 16-inning scoreless streak into the game. The Royals halted it in the first inning on Benintendi’s RBI single.
