 The Tigers are 6-3 against the Royals this season but lost two of three games in their lone visit to Kauffman Stadium from June 11-13. Detroit is 5-12 in its last 17 games at Kansas City and has scored three or fewer runs 10 times during that span, going 2-8 in those outings.

 Kansas City had the largest increase in winning percentage after the All-Star break from before the stoppage last season. The Royals went 31-36 (.446) after the break after entering it 27-68 (.284).

 The Tigers are an MLB-worst 3-10 on the road since June 1 and last won a series away from home at Baltimore from May 28-31. Detroit ranks last in the AL in runs per game (3.95) on the road this season and has recorded a 6.82 ERA over its last seven away contests.

 Whit Merrifield is the first Royal to lead the majors in hits at the All-Star break since George Brett in 1979. The All-Star is one of three players (Ronald Acuna, Christian Yelich) with 100 hits, 10 homers, 40 RBI and 10 steals and is batting .366 during a 16-game hitting streak against AL Central teams.

 Miguel Cabrera has not homered in 42 career at-bats against Danny Duffy, his most of any pitcher he's failed to homer against in his career. Cabrera has gone 24 games since last homering against Kansas City on June 29, 2017 and is hitting .195 (8-for-41) at Kauffman Stadium since 2017.

 Spencer Turnbull's 0.59 home runs allowed per 9 innings on the road is the second-lowest mark among AL hurlers (min. 40 IP). Turnbull has not surrendered a home run in 19 innings while posting a 1.42 ERA in three prior meetings with the Royals this season -- all no-decisions.

HP - Johnson, 1B - Wolcott, 2B - Cederstrom, 3B - Hudson

Matthew Boyd is one of the hottest names on the trade market. He can enhance his value a little more with another strong outing Saturday.
The Detroit Tigers ace left-hander will make his first start since July 4, taking the mound in the second game of a three-game series in Kansas City.

Tigers to go with Boyd in possible showcase vs. Royals

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)  Bubba Starling's first career hit was admittedly a little imperfect.
Then again, so was his route to the majors.
