Thu Apr 17 23:10:00 UTC 2025: **Tigers Return Home to Face Royals Amid Offensive Slump**
DETROIT – The Detroit Tigers (10-8) are returning home to Comerica Park for a four-game series against the Kansas City Royals (8-11), starting Thursday at 6:40 p.m. The team, which has played a significant portion of its season on the road, enters the series on a two-game losing streak, hampered by a recent offensive slump.
The Tigers, who hold a 2.5-game lead over the Royals and a half-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central, have scored only one run in their last two games. While rookie Spencer Torkelson has shown promise, other key hitters like Riley Greene and Colt Keith have underperformed.
This four-game series marks the Tigers’ first of its length this season and presents an opportunity to regain their offensive rhythm and extend their division lead. The team will be looking to Torkelson and the rest of the lineup to break out of their recent struggles.
