The Detroit Tigers are coming off a three-game sweep of Baltimore and outscored their opponent 23-15 in the series.

Today the Tigers hand the ball to Michael Fulmer (1-2, 3.86 ERA) who is 2-4 with a solid 3.33 ERA in seven career starts against Kansas City. He should be fired up for this one coming off one of the worst outings of his career, a three-inning stint at Cleveland in which he gave up nine runs (six earned).

The Royals turn to Jakob Junis (2-1, 1.93 ERA) who held the Tigers scoreless through seven innings on April 3, but note that he posted a 6.75 ERA against them last season. He served up three homers through 4 2/3 innings against LAA his last turn and is unlikely to get much back up from a bullpen which has posted a combined 0-5 record and a 7.94 ERA.

The Royals are just 3-13 on the season with a .237 team batting average. Detroit is looking to build momentum and should prove well worth the price.
