The Detroit Tigers split a four-game series this week with the Cleveland Guardians resulting in a tidy 4-3 record on their recent road swing to open up the second half of the season. The Motor City Kitties remain hot after entering the All-Star Break on fire, having assembled a 12-8 record in July putting them just two games under .500.
However, AJ Hinch’s team still has a way to go in a competitive American League East sitting 11 games behind the first-place Guards but only 5.5 games out of the final wildcard spot. The intra-division grind continues this weekend as the Tigers return home to host the second-place Minnesota Twins.
