Tigers fall flat in Kansas City as road skid hits 7: 'They punched us in the mouth early'

Kansas City, Mo. — The Tigers will not visit Kauffman Stadium again this season and after the way things went this weekend, they’re probably OK with that.

And we’re not talking about the oppressive heat.

The Royals hit three home runs in three innings off rookie left-hander Tarik Skubal Sunday and completed the three-game weekend sweep with a 6-1 win over the Tigers. It was the seventh road loss in the row for Detroit, who entered the series on a seven-game winning streak.

"You know how I am about streaks," manager AJ Hinch said after the game.
