For the second weekend in a row, the Tigers dropped two of three to Cleveland, missing another chance to move into second place. While second in the AL Central is fairly meaningless in the postseason picture, being able to finish the season there would represent a huge win for the rebuilding club.
Just as playing the Orioles was helpful in racking up some wins, perhaps Detroit can find similar success against the Angels. While traveling to Anaheim seemingly always ends in disaster, this three-game set will all be played at Comerica Park, with future ace Casey Mize leading the way on Tuesday.
