The Detroit Tigers completed their successful six-game homestand this week by splitting a doubleheader on Wednesday with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Couple that with a 3-1 series win over the Toronto Blue Jays before — which snapped a five-game losing streak — and the Motor City Kitties appear to be back on the upswing.
AJ Hinch’s team now returns to the road starting with a four-game series at the Boston Red Sox starting on Thursday night. Both teams have similar records but very different expectations, so it will be interesting to see how things pan out this weekend.
