The Royals are 4-2 at home against the Tigers but have lost five of six meetings in Detroit this season. They've lost or split their last three series in Detroit dating back to last season, last winning a series at Comerica from April 20-22, 2018.

Kansas City split the first two games of a three-game set in Boston, but the finale was suspended in the top of the 10th inning and will be completed on August 22. Including the suspended game, the Royals are slugging just .360 since July 20, the lowest mark in MLB in that span.

Detroit dropped three of four against the White Sox and are an AL-worst 5-21 (.192) since the All-Star Break -- only the Pirates (4-21) are worse. The Tigers have not won consecutive games since May 28-31, 2019 - their 57 games without consecutive wins is the third-longest such streak in franchise history, behind a 65-game streak in 2002-2003 and a 60-gamer in 2017-2018.

Whit Merrifield has a hit in each of his last six games against Detroit and is batting .335 in 59 career games against the Tigers. That ranks fifth among active players with at least 100 career plate appearances against Detroit.

Miguel Cabrera is hitting .357 (15-for-42) over his last 10 games after batting just .205 in his previous 20 games dating back to June 26. The veteran has 27 home runs against the Royals, second-most among active players; only Carlos Santana (30) has more.

This will mark the third-earliest date in MLB history that two teams with 70+ losses square off. Last season, the Royals faced the White Sox on August 2; in 1970, the Brewers played the White Sox on August 6.

The Detroit Tigers' outfield has a new all-around look since the end of last month.
Left fielder Christin Stewart was recently placed on the 10-day IL; right fielder Nicholas Castellanos was traded to the Chicago Cubs, and now center fielder JaCoby Jones is dealing with a left wrist contusion.
