The Kansas City Royals arrived at Comerica Park with renewed momentum after finishing a successful 8-2 homestand. There are a lot of words to describe the Royals' hot stretch. Refreshing is certainly one that comes to mind. But it's clear the Royals have more work ahead to earn a postseason berth.

The Tigers now get to face a Royals team that is coming off a four-game series with the Texas Rangers, with Kansas City having won six straight games. The Tigers sit atop the American League Central, 9.5 games ahead of the Royals. KC is two games back of the last Wild Card spot.

The Kansas City Royals face the Detroit Tigers on Friday, Aug. 22, 2025 (8/22/25) in a regular season MLB game at Comerica Park in Detroit, Mich.
