    Amid all the talk about Kansas City's promising farm system and bright future, the current Royals are quietly off to a nice start.

    Wilson Betemit went 4 for 4 with two doubles, and the Royals beat the mistake-prone Detroit Tigers 9-5 on Sunday. Luke Hochevar pitched seven solid innings for Kansas City, and every Royals starter had a hit.

    Kansas City took two of three from the Tigers and improved to 6-3. Not bad, considering many of the team's top prospects might be at least a year from making an impact.

    "We feel great," said Jeff Francoeur, who hit a single and a triple. "We're here, and it's our turn to go out there and show what we can do. I think you watch -- every guy is just doing the best they can, and hopefully it's good enough. Right now it is."

    Miguel Cabrera, Jhonny Peralta and Alex Avila all homered for Detroit, but the Tigers made four errors.
