How to Watch Tigers at Royals (August 31): Stream MLB Live, TV Channel

Division leading Tigers wrap up sluggish road trip with Tarik Skubal on the mound in rubber game against the Royals.

Despite losing five of their last six games, the Detroit Tigers hold an 8.5-game lead in the American League Central Division as they head into Sunday afternoon’s matinee series finale against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals have been unable to make up ground on Detroit in the division standings going 4-4 in their last eight games but have won three of their last four including Saturday night’s matchup behind a two-run homer by Bobby Witt, Jr. to tie the series at a game a piece. Tigers ace Tarik Skubal (11-4, 2.28 ERA) aims for his first win in his last five starts and is winless in his last two outings against Kansas City.
