After dropping two straight series at home to start the season, the Tigers embark on their first road trip of the year to take on the Kansas City Royals. Thursday night marks the start of a four game series where Detroit will meet a divisional rival that also finds itself with more losses than wins so far. With an exceptional rookie and some intriguing veterans, Kansas City is similar to Detroit in that they’re also looking to get back to winning ways in 2022.
Many of the usual suspects for the Royals return from years past in Salvador Perez, Whit Merrifield, and Adalberto Mondesi.
