Dating to July 21, the Detroit Tigers' starting rotation is the best the American League.
A group of nine starters has combined for a 3.09 ERA — 51 earned runs in 148u2153 innings — in the past 29 games. The ERA mark leads the AL and ranks third in MLB, behind only the Los Angeles Dodgers (2.53 in 28 games) and New York Mets (2.72 in 27 games).
"It's good for those guys," manager A.J. Hinch said. "We don't go by those sections. I didn't know that."
But Hinch knows his rotation has been excellent over the past month.
