DETROIT --
DETROIT (AP) - Mike Aviles drove in three runs, rookie Jerrod
Dyson scored three times and the Kansas City Royals beat the
Detroit Tigers 9-6 on Tuesday night.
The Royals, who got three hits from Billy Butler, were aided by
three errors by Detroit pitchers - one by starter Armando Galarraga
and two by reliever Alfredo Figaro.
Bruce Chen (11-7) improved to 3-0 in his last five starts,
allowing three runs, four hits and a walk in six innings.
Joakim Soria, the fifth Kansas City pitcher, got the last two
outs for his 33rd consecutive save and 40th overall.
Galarraga (4-7), who gave up five runs in 5 1-3 innings, has
only won twice in 18 starts since his near-perfect game against
Cleveland on June 2.
