The Royals drafted left-hander Mike Montgomery in 2008, and today he picked up his first win with the Royals.
Montgomery, who the Royals re-acquired via a trade for Martin Maldonado last month, had a career-best performance in just his fifth start of the season help the Royals win 7-0 over Detroit tonight.
The teams will wrap up their series and the Royals will conclude their 10-game road trip on Sunday afternoon. The Royals (42-76) will try to earn a series split.
The game serves as the 25th Annual Negro Leagues Tribute Game for the Tigers (35-79). They held a pregame ceremony recognizing former members of the Negro Leagues. Both teams wore Negro Leagues tribute uniforms representing the Detroit Stars and Kansas City Monarchs.
