Tigers shortstop Jhonny Peralta technically carries a four-game hitting streak into Tuesday's game against the Royals, but his production has slowed down a bit since seeing his previous hitting streak end at six games April 17.
Peralta is batting just .211 (4 for 19) in his last five games since his hitting streak ended. Peralta hit .444 (12 for 27) with one home run, two doubles and five RBI from April 10-16. Peralta's batting average slipped below .300 after Sunday's 1-for-5 performance against the Angels. He's batting .296 through 17 games.
