The Detroit Tigers, fresh off a brutal sweep at the hands of the Oakland Athletics, travel to Kansas City to kick off a three-game series against the Royals tonight. First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. ET at Kauffman Stadium.
Detroit (78-57) is looking to rebound after losing four straight games and needs to find some consistency after a disastrous series in Sacramento. The Tigers were outscored 22-9 by the Athletics in a performance that left fans and analysts scratching their heads.
Kansas City (69-65), on the other hand, comes into this series with momentum. They've won four of their last five series, including a recent series win against the Chicago White Sox. The Royals are currently 8.5 games behind the Tigers in the AL Central and three games back of a Wild Card spot, making this series crucial for their playoff aspirations.
Last weekend, the Tigers took two of three from the Royals in Detroit. This series in Kansas City provides an opportunity for the Royals to even the score and close the gap in the standings.
