Detroit Tigers score: Colt Keith singled with two outs to drive in Riley Greene as the Tigers scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning.

The Detroit Tigers authored a comeback for the ages on Thursday, storming back with three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning to stun the Kansas City Royals 10-9 and complete a series sweep at Comerica Park. With two outs and the game on the line, Riley Greene laced a clutch two-run double before rookie Colt Keith delivered the first walk-off hit of his MLB career, a single that sent the home crowd into a frenzy and capped a perfect 6-0 homestand.

This dramatic victory was a testament to the Tigers' resilience. Just two innings prior, the game seemed to slip away as Royals slugger Salvador Perez won a grueling 10-pitch battle, crushing a three-run homer in a six-run seventh inning that erased Detroit's comfortable lead. The Tigers had controlled the middle innings, highlighted by a Dillon Dingler two-run blast in the fifth that showcased the young catcher's emerging power.

Now riding a six-game winning streak and sitting above .500 at 10-9, the Tigers carry this electric momentum on the road. Their next challenge is a weekend series at historic Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox, where they'll look to keep this thrilling brand of baseball rolling.
