Tigers shortstop Jordy Mercer’s two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth gave Detroit a 10-8 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
The teams combined for eight homers on a rare night where the ball was flying at Comerica Park.
Alex Gordon’s sixth-inning homer was his 15th at Comerica Park, the most by any active visiting player. He is tied with Joe Crede for fifth since the stadium opened in 2000. David Ortiz is the leader with 23 in 55 games.
