The Royals drop the series in Detroit.
The Royals managed just five hits and one run in a 4-1 Sunday afternoon loss to the Tigers to lose the series. The Royals have had four series where they split the first two games, and in all four now they have dropped the finale to lose the series.
Tarik Skubal has been one of the best pitchers in baseball since last August, but the Royals were able to get to him the first inning.
