Royals Pin 8-5 Loss on Detroit
Rick Brown was a major factor in the 8-5 Cincinnati win over Detroit. The Royals designated hitter went 4-5 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 2. Cincinnati pitcher Juan Fernandez got the win. He's now 5-5. Mike Wroten was tagged with the loss. Jason Martin nailed down his 4th save.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Eric Barlow? The Cincinnati shortstop had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Royals on top, 2-0. For the game, Barlow had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Brown.

Cincinnati has run its win streak to 4 in a row.
