Kansas City Royals rookie starting pitcher, Bret Saberhagen, picks up his first MLB victory as the Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 5-2. It is the first loss of the season for the red-hot Tigers, who began the year 9-0 and will never fall out of first place in the A. L. East on their way to a World Championship.
