Melky Cabrera cleared the bases with his grand slam at Comerica Park where the
Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 4 to 3.
 
Kansas City scored all of the necessary runs in the 3rd inning when they
scored 4 runs on 2 hits.  The early run support proved sufficient for Bruce
Chen(2-0) and Kansas City.  That was all the run support Chen required.
Kansas City finished with 7 hits in the victory.  
 
Chen got help from Joakim Soria who earned his 3rd save.  Doug Fister(1-1)
ended up with the loss.  He gave up 7 hits and 2 walks in 8 innings.
