On the mound for the Royals, Cole Ragans and Kris Bubic have delivered commendable efforts.

Bubic's contributions cannot be overlooked either; his ERA over these games reflects a pitcher finding his rhythm at a crucial part of the season.

The Royals have seen notable performances from Hunter Dozier and Salvador Perez, each bringing their unique strengths to bear. Dozier's versatility and Perez's leadership behind the plate provide Kansas City with depth and experience.


For Detroit, players like Javier Báez and Tarik Skubal add depth to their roster. Báez's infield presence and Skubal's pitching prowess give the Tigers options across different situations they might face against Kansas City.
