KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Colt Keith hit a two-run homer, Matt Vierling had three hits while driving in the go-ahead run, and the Detroit Tigers rallied from an early four-run deficit to beat the Kansas City Royals 7-6. Pinch hitter Wenceel Pérez also drove two runs for Detroit, which began its final road trip of the regular season by moving within 1 1/2 games of Minnesota for the final AL wild-card spot. The Twins lost to Cleveland earlier in the night. Brenan Hanifee earned the win in relief for Detroit while Jason Foley worked the ninth for his 24th save. Sam Long took the loss, allowing three runs and retiring just two batters.
