KANSAS CITY 5, DETROIT 0: Royals KO Miller in 1st Wednesday (Detroit Free Press)

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Tigers have fallen into dangerous territory. With September two days away, they have dropped 4 1/2 games out of first place. Teams that are at least four games out of first place Sept. 1 seldom rally to finish first. It hadn't happened in 11 years until last season, when Minnesota overhauled the Tigers.
