The Detroit Tigers are heading into Monday night’s showdown against the Kansas City Royals with more than just a win on their minds—it’s about keeping those playoff dreams alive. After a solid 4-2 victory over the Orioles, the Tigers are rolling into Kansas City with momentum on their side. But the Royals? They’ve got an ace in their pocket, and his name is Seth Lugo.
The Tigers have been putting up a fight lately, especially on the road. They’ve won five straight against AL Central teams, showing grit in tough environments. But tonight, they face a Royals squad that’s almost untouchable at home, thanks in no small part to Lugo’s dominance.
With a 16-8 record and a 2.94 ERA, Lugo has been dealing all season—and, unfortunately for Detroit, he’s got their number. The Tigers know all too well what Lugo’s capable of; he’s 3-0 with a microscopic 1.29 ERA against them.
