Detroit Vs. Kansas City


Zack Greinke has traditionally fared well over his career against the Detroit Tigers, but in two tries this season he's come up empty.

Greinke will get one more chance to beat the Tigers this year when he and the Kansas City Royals open a three-game series at Comerica Park on Monday.

Greinke (9-12, 3.90 ERA) is 11-5 with a 2.62 ERA in his career against Detroit, his most wins and second-lowest ERA against any AL opponent. However, he doesn't have a decision in two starts against the Tigers this season - both Kansas City (61-87) losses - and has posted a 3.65 ERA.

He gave up four runs in 6 1-3 innings of a 9-5, 11-inning home loss to Detroit on Sept. 3. It marked the most runs Greinke has given up against the Tigers in their last eight meetings.
