Kansas City. Kyle Isbel hit a walk-off single in the ninth Friday at Kauffman Stadium, capping a two-run eighth-inning rally and delivering a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers; earlier in the eighth Isbel and Maikel Garcia produced consecutive RBI singles and Isbel made two catches that likely prevented runs. The result snapped a streak of narrow outcomes between the clubs and marked Detroit's fourth straight loss while Kansas City extended its run to six wins in eight games; Tigers manager AJ Hinch acknowledged roster and injury challenges this week, and Brant Hurter took the decision while Nick Loftin produced a ninth-inning pinch-hit double.
