Detroit’s offense could benefit the KC Royals in the teams’ four-game series.
The KC Royals, a resurgent team with a division lead, begin four games with Detroit at Comerica Park tonight, but won’t face the thorn in their side that Miguel Cabrera has been for so long. Cabrera, the future Hall of Famer who’s made trouble for the Royals for most of his 19-year career (32 homers, 140 RBIs and .306/.383/.488 against KC says it all), is injured and won’t play against one of his favorite targets.
Cabrera’s absence helps explain Detroit’s beleaguered 2021 offense.
