The Detroit Tigers and the Kansas City Royals will wrap up their highly-entertaining four-game series on Sunday at Comerica Park. The Tigers put an end on their five-game losing slide after they eked out a 5-4 win behind Wenceel Perez’s game-winning single in the 11th inning. Saturday’s result gave Detroit its third win in 10 games. Still, it did stop the bleeding for the Tigers, who place fourth in AL Central with a 53-59 record. Detroit posted 2.7 runs on a .176 batting average in their previous 10 matches, exposing their struggles in sending their batters to the home plate. The Royals, on the other hand, have been cooking lately as they have batted .283 with 6.1 runs over their last 10 games. Kansas City had won five consecutive games before Saturday’s 5-4 loss to the Tigers. Their recent success has kept them in the race for a wild card spot in the American League with a 62-50 record.
