KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Magglio Ordonez's two-run home run just
six pitches into the game staked Rick Porcello to an early lead and
got the Detroit Tigers rolling toward a 6-4 victory Friday night
over Kyle Davies and the reeling Kansas City Royals.
Davies (1-8) lost his seventh straight decision and the Royals
sank to 5-14 in their past 19 games.
Only one of the three runs the Royals scored off Porcello (8-6)
was earned. The lanky right-hander went 5 1-3 innings and allowed
six hits. He struck out five and walked just one - the 14th time in
17 outings he has allowed two or fewer walks.
