Matt Vierling's sixth-inning single capped a rally that would carry the visiting Detroit Tigers past the Kansas City Royals, 7-6, in Monday's opener of a three-game series.
After pinch hitter Wenceel Perez's two-run double tied the game at 6, Vierling collected his third hit, an opposite-field line drive to right, highlighting a three-run frame against reliever Sam Long (3-2).
