The Detroit Tigers have completed 71 games, or 43.8% of the regular season, and remain in contention for first place in the crowded American League Central.
In any other division, the Tigers would be one of the worst teams, but in the AL Central, all five teams entered Tuesday with losing records: Minnesota Twins (36-37), Cleveland Guardians (33-38), Tigers (31-40), Chicago White Sox (31-43) and Kansas City Royals (19-53).
