\"\"<\/a>DETROIT (AP) – Doug Fister set an AL record by striking out nine
\nstraight batters and the Detroit Tigers kept their lead in the
\nCentral, beating the Kansas City Royals 5-4 Thursday on Alex
\nAvila’s grounder in the ninth inning.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Tigers began the day with a one-game edge over the Chicago
\nWhite Sox, who later hosted Tampa Bay.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fister came within one strikeout of matching Tom Seaver’s major
\nleague record of 10 in a row.<\/p>\n

But the Tigers blew a 4-0 lead after seven innings, and Joaquin Benoit (5-3) allowed a solo homer by Billy Butler to tie it in the ninth.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Royals made five errors, including one that loaded the bases
\nin the ninth.<\/p>\n

Avila hit a grounder to first baseman Brayan Pena, who made a diving stop and touched the bag, but had no play at home.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tim Collins (5-4) got the loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
