Joe Niekro had a strong outing as the Detroit Tigers defeated the ice-cold
Kansas City Royals by the score of 2 to 1 at Municipal Stadium.
 
Detroit came up with 1 run in the 7th inning.  Kansas City could do no damage
in the bottom of the 9th.  Niekro(1-2) went 8 innings allowing 1 run for the
win. Tom Timmerman earned his 3rd save.  Wally Bunker(2-2) was tagged with
the loss.  
 
With this win, Detroit has a 8-8 record.  They have been 6-4 lately.  Kansas
City can't seem to snap out of their recent 'funk'.  Now they have a
miserable 2-8 record over the last couple weeks.
