The Kansas City Royals and the Tigers split two games in Detroit earlier this month, with the final game of that scheduled three-game series being postponed by weather. The Royals will be playing in their second doubleheader this week (Tuesday at Tor).

Kansas City has dropped its last eight games, allowing 4+ runs in each game during this skid. The last time the Royals had a longer single-season losing streak was when they dropped nine games in a row, April 20-30, 2017.

Jeimer Candelario went 4-for-4 with three runs batted in against the Orioles on Wednesday. It was his third straight game with 2+ hits; he is batting .667 (8/12) with five RBIs during this streak.

Mike Moustakas has had at least one hit in each of his last 10 games. He is batting .442 (19/43) with four home runs and 11 runs batted in during this streak, which is the second-longest active one in the majors (Brian Dozier Min), 13).

Michael Fulmer has thrown at least six innings in each of his last eight home starts, going 3-4 with a 2.54 (17/60.1) ERA and a .193 (40/207) opponent batting average during this streak. He has gone 7+ innings while allowing no more than three runs in each of his four career home starts against the Royals (2-1, 2.27 ERA).

Jakob Junis threw seven innings of three-hit, shutout ball in his April 3 win over the Tigers. He has now picked up the victory in each of his last three appearances in this series.

HP - De Jesus, 1B - Danley, 2B - Barry, 3B - Torres

The Detroit Tigers will try to start another winning streak on Saturday after nearly completing a doubleheader sweep on Friday.
Detroit (8-10) won its fourth straight in the opener, beating the Kansas City Royals 3-2 on JaCoby Jones' walk-off homer in the 10th inning.

After doubleheader split, Tigers, Royals face off again

DETROIT (AP)  The Detroit Tigers came into this season well aware of how little was expected of them.
For now, they're hanging around the .500 mark - and maybe, just maybe, starting to win over a few fans.
