Tigers vs. Royals — 8:10 p.m. ET
Detroit Tigers right-hander Casey Mize has been outstanding in the first inning this season, only giving up a run in the first frame once in eight starts, including once on the road in four starts. In his first-time-through-the-order work, Mize has held batters to just a .188 average across 69 plate appearances.
Offensively, the Kansas City Royals have been notably poor in the opening frame, going scoreless in the first inning in 43-of-57 games, and 22-of-29 games at home. Even potential MVP Bobby Witt Jr. has struggled, hitting just .167 over his last 26 plate appearances.
On the mound for Kansas City, veteran Seth Lugo has not allowed a run in the first inning in six home starts this year, and has given up only one run in the first inning over nine starts.
Dating back to last season, Lugo is 21-2 to the NRFI when pitching on his own turf, and he’s limited first-time-through-the-order hitters to a .230 average in 74 plate appearances this season.
Meanwhile, Detroit’s lineup has generated a 19-9 road NRFI record, but their most consistent bat, Riley Greene, is in a slump, slashing just .176 over his last 18 trips to the plate.
