The Royals swept the Tigers when they last faced them in Detroit (a three-game series from August 15-17), outscoring Detroit, 13-3, over the three games. The three runs allowed by Kansas City in that series are its fewest ever allowed in a three-game series versus the Tigers.

The Royals were swept in their three-game series at Cleveland earlier this week, the second time they've been swept in their last three series played. Kansas City has been swept eight times this season after being swept just six times last season.

The Tigers won both games of their double-header at Minnesota on Thursday, extending their win streak to four games. During its current four-game win streak, Detroit has scored three times as many runs as its opponents (30-10).

Alcides Escobar hit his seventh home run of the season on Thursday. Over the previous two seasons combined, Escobar totaled six home runs.

Danny Duffy is 12-2 (.857) since joining the starting rotation on May 15, the second-highest win percentage by any pitcher with at least 10 decisions over that span (Aaron Sanchez, Tor: 10-1, .909).

Michael Fulmer matched a single-game career high (also August 19 versus Boston) by allowing six runs in his last start at Cleveland last Friday. Fulmer has posted a 4.00 ERA in 11 starts since the All-Star break after recording a 2.11 ERA in 13 starts prior to the break.

HP - Davidson, 1B - Iassogna, 2B - Barrett, 3B - Diaz

DETROIT -- "Just win" continues to be the daily mantra of Detroit and Kansas City until winning will no longer be mathematically good enough to get them into baseball's postseason.
"They're trained themselves not to look too far ahead," manager Brad Ausmus said of his Tigers, who Saturday afternoon host the Royals in the middle game of their weekend series. "They're not looking past (this game)."

Tigers continue playoff pursuit, host Royals

DETROIT (AP)  With their playoff hopes fading fast, the Kansas City Royals showed some fight.
Paulo Orlando hit a tying, two-run double and Eric Hosmer followed with a three-run homer against Francisco Rodriguez, capping a ninth-inning comeback that led the Royals over the Detroit Tigers 7-4 Saturday.
