Wenceel Pérez hit a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning and the Detroit Tigers won their fifth straight game, beating the Kansas City Royals 2-1 on Wednesday night. Pérez entered the game in the eighth inning as a defensive replacement when Zach McKinstry left after a collision with Jac Caglianone at third base. Pérez's first at-bat came as the leadoff hitter in the bottom of the eighth and he hit a 1-1 changeup from Eli Morgan (0-1) over the right-field fence for his first homer of the season.
