Detroit — Niko Goodrum led off the eighth inning Wednesday night with a walk. The Tigers, who had blown a seven-run lead the night before, were clinging to a skinny two-run margin and an add-on run would look mighty favorable. Goodrum was eyeing second base with bad intent. On the mound, though, was Royals’ hard-throwing right-hander
Detroit Tigers right-hander Spencer Turnbull walked off the mound and into the dugout to an ovation at Comerica Park.

DETROIT — The last time the Tigers won four consecutive games, they were over .500. That was shortly after the midway point of last year’s abbreviated season, when they won six a row to move to 17-16 and spark short-lived speculation at a run at the expanded postseason field.
