Late Rally by Royals Secures Win
The 1969 season is getting ugly for Detroit.

The Kansas City Royals defeated the Detroit Tigers, 10-6, at Tiger Stadium today. Leading the charge for Kansas City was third baseman Dave Nelson. He was 3-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. Huston Street got credit for the win, improving to 4-6. He allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 1 innings. Oscar Villarreal converted his 3rd save in 6 tries.

It could have been a different outcome for Kansas City, had it not been for Johnny Lewis, the 1968 Rookie of the Year Award winner . Lewis contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Kansas City up, 8-6.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Nelson.

Kansas City has 3 straight wins, Detroit 3 straight losses.
