Detroit – James McCann went back into the Tigers’ clubhouse between innings Sunday to find a dry towel on a sweltering afternoon. The White Sox broadcast of the game was booming on the big-screen television.
“I heard the announcer say they were shocked that we were in second place,” McCann said. “That we were just a bunch of no-names. That’s fine that everyone thinks that. But at the end of the day, go look at the standings.”
The Tigers woke up Monday 36-37 and 2.5 games behind the Indians in the American League Central, and after a two-game interleague set with the Reds Tuesday and Wednesday, they go to Cleveland for three games.
