Tigers go for sixth straight win

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Ticker) -- The Detroit Tigers will go for their sixth straight win Saturday when they visit the struggling Kansas City Royals.

Mike Maroth will be making his third start of the season against the Royals. The veteran lefthander beat Kansas City on April 7 and took a no decision April 17.

Despite not taking a loss in either game, Maroth yielded four runs in each start and did not make it out of the sixth inning either time. Maroth has 10 of his 47 career wins against the Royals.

The Tigers earned a win Friday night as Carlos Guillen went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored. He sat out the previous two games with a shoulder injury.

The Royals will counter with Odalis Perez. The lefthander took a loss last Monday against the Angels, allowing three runs and 10 hits in six innings.
