DETROIT (AP) — Kyle Isbel hit his first grand slam, Bobby Witt Jr. added a three-run home run and the Kansas City Royals routed the Detroit Tigers 12-2 on Saturday night.
Nick Pratto and MJ Melendez also homered for the Royals. It's the first time since at least 1906 that four first-year players on the same team have homered in the same game.
Nate Eaton had four hits and drove in two runs. Every player in the Kansas City lineup had at least one hit.
Winning pitcher Jonathan Heasley (3-7) gave up two earned runs and eight hits, with two walks and two strikeouts in seven innings.
