Troy Melton gave up a pair of runs over five frames while the bullpen did its job, allowing just one run the rest of the way; a three-run shot by James Outman and an RBI single from Dillon Dingler gave the good guys just enough offense to prevail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">On Friday night, left-hander Tarik Skubal will take the mound in what could be his last start at Comerica Park if he ends up getting traded. The 29-year-old is coming off his best start of the 2026 campaign, in which he tossed seven shutout innings on five hits and no walks while striking out nine en route to his sixth win in a 7-0 final over the Los Angeles Angels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">For the Royals, right-handed rookie Beck Way will climb the hill to make his first career MLB start after appearing in 18 games as a reliever in 2026. The 26-year-old, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2020 MLB Draft by the New York Yankees, has not thrown more than two innings in any of his appearances this summer, so it looks like he will be the opener for a bullpen day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Here is what the pitching matchup looks like on paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><h2 class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup\"><strong>Detroit Tigers<\/strong> (49-54) vs. <strong>Kansas City Royals<\/strong> (43-61)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><strong>Time (ET):<\/strong> 6:40 p.m.<br \/><strong>Place:<\/strong> Comerica Park, Detroit, Michigan<br \/><strong>SB Nation Site:<\/strong> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.royalsreview.com\/\">Royals Review<\/a><br \/><strong>Media: <\/strong>Detroit SportsNet, MLB.TV, Tigers Radio Network<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><strong>Game 104<\/strong>: LHP Tarik Skubal (6-5, 2.83 ERA) vs. RHP Beck Way (1-0, 3.22 ERA)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.blessyouboys.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Tigers opened up their four-game home series against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday night with a white-knuckle 4-3 victory.
