Royals Lose to Tigers, 11-6
The Detroit Tigers bested the Kansas City Royals by a score of 11-6, with third baseman Matt Mangini getting the main credit. On the day, Mangini was 1-1 with 3 walks, while scoring 3 runs for the Tigers. The Royals fall to 12-17 and continue their uneven start to the 1969 season.

Johnny Gerlach's at-bat in the bottom of the fourth inning was a big one for Detroit. Coming to bat with one out, runners on 1st and 2nd and Detroit trailing 6-4, the second baseman hit a run-scoring single.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Gerlach told the Detroit Chronicle. "It's as simple as that."
