Tigers 7, Royals 1 (7/23/08)
One dream ended with a swing of the bat from David DeJesus in the seventh inning. But that was just one, the one where Armando Galarraga threw a perfect game.
Detroit still had plenty to marvel at. Galarraga pitched a gem in Wednesday’s 7-1 victory, leading the Tigers to a sweep over the Royals. Now the first-place White Sox lie ahead this weekend at Comerica Park, and not too far ahead in the standings. The Tigers are only 5 1/2 games back.
