With the Tigers now winners of three straight games, Spencer Turnbull will look to lead them to a series sweep over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday afternoon. The Royals will counter with a good young pitching prospect in Daniel Lynch. It should be a fun matchup.
The reason things are suddenly more fun, is that the Tigers offense has finally woken up after a brutal final three weeks of April. Since getting blanked by the Yankees back on May 2, the Tigers have scored 44 runs in seven games. When you’re averaging over six runs per game, you should be winning.
