Despite losing the series, the Royals ensured there wouldn’t be a Motor City sweep at Comerica Park. First baseman Vinnie Pasquantino spearheaded a six-run third inning as the Royals batted around against Tigers starter Jack Flaherty.

After the contest, the real Rogers led the Tigers to a 4-2 win against the Royals on Saturday in the second of three games in the series. Not only did the 30-year-old catcher drive in two runs on two hits, but he also guided the pitching staff that limited the Royals to two runs.
