Driving in four runs with a double and single, Ron LeFlore sparked the Tigers to a 7-3 triumph over the Royals, ending Kansas City's three-game winning skein. The Tigers trailed, 2-1, in the seventh inning when LeFiore hit his two-bagger to plate Phil Mankowski and Alan Trammell, who had both singled. LeFlore added a two-run single in a four-run Tiger ninth.
