The Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals play the next games of a four-game home series in Detroit after two close results. On Thursday night, the Tigers win 4-3 in a tight matchup. Troy Melton allows two runs over five innings, and the Detroit bullpen limits Kansas City to one additional run. The Tigers’ offense includes a three-run home run from James Outman.
On Friday night, Detroit again wins by a narrow margin, 2-1, taking the second game of the set. Tarik Skubal pitches 7 1/3 innings and is described as dominant, while the Tigers’ offense scores just enough to secure a second consecutive win. With these outcomes, Detroit enters the weekend with an opportunity to clinch the series win if it can secure another victory on Saturday afternoon.
