The Tigers got their hitting back over the last two games in Texas, but they face a pitcher in Kennedy who has been on a roll. Kennedy has a 0.93 ERA over his last three starts. Despite that, Detroit has been very tough at home. They have won seven of their last nine at Comerica and are still very much in the playoff hunt. They should find a way to handle the Royals today.
