Tigers 9, Royals 3; Porcello, Jackson lead way in Tigers’ rout

Tigers icon

Porcello (2-2) had been roughed up for 13 earned runs on 17 hits over 7 2/3 innings in his previous two starts, but his between-starts work with Jones led to an adjustment to his windup, raising his hands in order to find a better balance. The firmer fastball and sinker that resulted allowed him a steady diet of ground-ball outs, 13 of them to comprise more than half of the 24 outs he recorded before Phil Coke pitched the ninth.
