Though the chances of this game getting rained out are slim, rain is a possibility in the later innings. There's right around a 25 percent chance of rain at 9 p.m.

Victor Martinez has two home runs in 15 plate appearances against hard-throwing Royals righty Yordano Ventura. He's the only Tiger who has taken Ventura deep.

Omar Infante (7-for-20, 3 2B) and Eric Hosmer (8-for-26, 1 HR, 2 2B) enter Tuesday as the hottest hitters on the Royals. The left-handed hitting Hosmer posted a very strong .378 wOBA in 401 plate appearances against right-handers last season, which is something to think about tonight against Tigers righty Shane Greene.

He'll never get 2 for anything unless he plays. KC beat Houston 3 games to one, Houston beat Detroit 2 games to one. Tigers better bring there A game this series. So sitting one of our hottest. Yea I know he 1 for 12. But like said he will never get 2 for any thing sitting.


I get it. If he sat every pitcher he was 1 for or 0 for, he would be sitting a lot.
 
Upton Killing us with the K's. And lets face it too many outs in front of Cabrera not helping Cabrera's hitting.
 
Greene settled down after giving up a 1-double.

He has K'ed in every game now.

1 Walk in 51 PAs

Upton 51 PA 1 BB

Castellanos 43 PA 0 BB

McCann 15 PA 0 BB

Kinsler 54 PA 2 BB

Total for these 4 = 3 walks in 163 PAs with 47 Ks

The rest of the team = 29 walks in 272 PAs with 52 Ks
 
Tigers with just one hard hit ball by J.D. Martinez thus far. Not looking good.

Agree, not sure just what but upton needs to be moved out of that two spot, maybe iggy, Kinsler move upton to 7th or something, so not impressed with him right now

This Ventura punk is one of my least fav players in all of baseball please put up some crooked numbers on this punk..
