The Tigers have scored fewer than three runs in each of their last eight losses against the Royals, and have scored fewer than three runs in six of their last seven overall losses.

The Royals, who have allowed at least five runs in five consecutive games for the first time since May 1-5, 2014, have not done so in six consecutive games since June 29 -- July 5, 2013.

While the Royals are one of four MLB teams that have at least six players with double-digit home runs this season, they are one of only six teams that does not have a single hitter with more than 15 home runs this season.

J.D. Martinez, who has hit an AL Central-high 29 home runs this season, has not hit a single home run against the Royals this season, and has gone homerless over his last 10 games against Kansas City.

Ben Zobrist, who has hit three home runs over his last two games, has driven in multiple runs in three consecutive games for the first time since July 29-31, 2011.

Justin Verlander has won 19 games against the Royals since 2006 -- tied for the most wins against one team over that span (Felix Hernandez, also 19 vs. A's).

HP - Wegner, 1B - Foster, 2B - Winters, 3B - Muchlinski

With the largest division lead in the majors, the Kansas City Royals aren't terribly alarmed by a rough stretch.
The AL Central leaders, though, would like to salvage a split of this 10-game road trip Thursday against the Detroit Tigers.

Royals-Tigers Preview

DETROIT (AP)  Salvador Perez can't explain his success against Justin Verlander. He just hopes it continues.
