The Kansas City Royals will gun for the coup de grace in the final game of their three-game series with the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday at Kaufmann Stadium. The Royals continue to roll at home, earning their fifth straight victory behind terrific hitting from their slugging corps. Michael Massey and Salvador Perez starred on Tuesday with each blasting a home run to lead their team to a comfortable 8-3 win. Massey also ended the longest homerless streak with his leadoff homer off Tigers starter Reese Olson in the second inning. Olson did not concede a home run for 48 1/3 inning. With another victory, Kansas City (31-19) now just trailed the Cleveland Guardians (32-17) by 1.5 games for the AL Central leadership. The Tigers slide to 13-12 on the road and 23-25 overall, fourth in the AL Central standings.
Pitchers Matchup: Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal (6-0, 1.80 ERA with 66 strikeouts) will try to keep his record unscathed when he goes up against Royals RHP Cole Ragans (3-3, 3.70 ERA with 64 strikeouts).
