The Kansas City Royals will try to get back to making the most of their opportunities on Monday night when they open a three-game series with the visiting Detroit Tigers.

Despite leading the American League in batting average with runners in scoring position (.285), Kansas City (82-68) went just1-for-12 in such situations on Sunday during a 4-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
