Detroit (62-92) has finally given their fans something to cheer about. Despite being out of the playoffs, they have a series win against the Royals. The Tigers are enjoying a solid 7-3 record in their last ten games, second best in the division, after the Cleveland Guardians. Even though it's too late into the season, their good form augurs well for next season.
The Royals (63-92), meanwhile, are 6-4 in their last ten games after losing their last two. Like the Tigers, their season is also over, but they will look to rack up a few wins before the end of the season. They will look to close the series with a win and avoid a clean sweep.
Game 3 is also important for the Royals to keep hold of their fourth spot. If they lose again, the Tigers will replace them by moving up from bottom place. So expect this game to be a fiery contest.
