Despite a 2-4 record, the Detroit Tigers enjoyed a positive homestand behind Miguel Cabrera’s historic 3,000th hit and some great weather in Michigan. That achievement might be the biggest moment of the entire season for the Tigers, which speaks both to its rarity but also the current state of the team.
If Detroit wants to produce some more highlights this year, the offense is going to have to wake up. Outside of the 13-0 outburst for Cabrera’s record-breaker, the Tigers failed to score over three runs in the other five contests at home. The bullpen was not stellar either, but the lack of scoring is a big reason why the Detroit has dropped four of five series so far.
