With a little help from the Blowout forum I think I have the mystery game from the Trammell card solved. User Packbusta pointed out that Trammel showed a CS on Gary Gaetti on 7/30/95. He also showed a CS on Tom Goodwin who would wear sleeves like the Royals player has on in this card. You can also see what look like players on the bench behind Trammell. This would make sense with how the bullpens were at Kaufmann Stadium and the angle from first base photo pit>second base>bullpen alignment.
I looked back at my cards even closer to try to match up players and box scores when I saw the answer staring right back at me. There is no way this Greg Gagne card is from Tiger Stadium. That is Kaufmann Stadium with the grass up above the fence.
Additional evidence can be seen in this Wally Joyner pic in which you can tell that is Tiger Stadium in the background, confirming they played with these jerseys on the road. The Gagne confirms they likely played in the Road jersey at home also.
I also jumped on COMC and looked at more cards and found on the backs of Upper Deck Collector's Choice cards of Felipe Lira and Joe Boever, both players in Stars Home Pinstripes. Neither of these guys pitched on July 8, 1995, but did pitch the July 30, 1995 game at Kansas City.
