Royals continue dominance of Tigers

As Detroit's 16-24 record might suggest, plenty of teams can say they "own" the Tigers...but perhaps no team is more qualified to make that claim than the Kansas City Royals...thats right, the Royals.

The lowly Tigers made KC rookie Luke Hochever look like Cy Young on Wednesday night. Hochevar's
(3-2, 3.94 season ERA) 6 scoreless innings led the Royals to their 5th straight win over Detroit. Hochevar continues to impress as he gains more fantasy value with each passing start.

On the flip side, Tigers' ace Justin Verlander lost despite his best pitching performance in nearly a month (6 IP, 2 ER, 3 K). Maybe this will be a turning point in Verlander's otherwise forgettable season (1-7, 6.05 ERA). Don't give up on Verlander yet. He'll get this thing turned around.
