In recent years there has never been anything quite like playing the Tigers to relieve the stress of an MLB season. The Guards haven’t had a losing record against Detroit since they were 7-11 in 2015, and in most seasons since they have come out way ahead.
Last year was different, however, as the Tigers put up a fight and narrowly lost the head-to-head matchup, 10-9. Cleveland could really use the Tigers of old to show up today after dropping two of three to the Yankees and letting one slip through their fingers against the worst team in baseball on Sunday.
