The first game of the series has a scheduled first pitch of 8:10 p.m. ET and will be aired locally on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers took two of three games against the Royals from Aug. 22-Aug. 24, at Comerica Park in Detroit, helping extend their division lead in the American League Central over the Royals by 10\u00bd games. However, the Royals winning their last two games and the Tigers losing their last four means the Tigers&#8217; divisional lead is down to 8 \u00bd over the Royals as the series begins.<\/p>\n<p><media-gallery-promo asset-id=\"85826377007\" class=\"column ten-column no-gutter spacer-large\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Should the Royals sweep the Tigers as the Athletics just did, they could come within striking distance of the division lead with fewer than 30 games left in the regular season.
