The Detroit Tigers come to Kauffman Stadium to face the Kansas City Royals in a two-game series that the baseball gods clearly deemed so likely to deserve being forgotten that they scheduled one of the two games on a Wednesday afternoon to absolve all but the most stalwart and masochistic of fans from the obligation of watching them. The Tigers are only 25 games under .500 coming into the intradivisional matchup with the Royals—’only’ is deserving of italicization in this instance because the Tigers ain’t got shit on the Royals and their 51 games under water.
