## Resource

The Detroit Tigers suffered their fifth consecutive loss, dropping to 18-22 after a 5-1 defeat against the Kansas City Royals. Despite trying a pitching chaos strategy, the Tigers struggled, with reliever Burch Smith giving up two runs in the first and Ty Madden allowing three more in the fourth. The offense failed to capitalize on a bases-loaded opportunity in the fifth, and defensive errors, including a misplayed ball by Kerry Carpenter, contributed to the loss. The Tigers face a bullpen-only game on Sunday, with no starter available due to a suspension, as they continue to search for solutions without injured pitcher Tarik Skubal.
