Tigers swept by Royals as Skubal takes rare loss

Cole Ragans allowed one hit in six innings and Freddy Fermin drove in three runs as the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 8-3 on Wednesday for a series sweep. Ragans (4-3) struck out a career-best 12 while holding the Tigers hitless until Riley Greene's two-out single in the sixth. “In the fourth inning I kind of had an idea what was going on,” Ragans said of the no-hit bid.
