Fred Patek's two-run double in the seventh inning proved to be the decisive blow in the Royals' 5-2 decision over the Tigers and their sixth consecutive victory. Three errors and a double steal by Al Cowens and Hal McRae -- McRae scoring from third on the play -- gave the Royals their first two runs in the fourth.
