The Detroit Tigers continued their unexpected late-season surge this past weekend by taking two of three at home from the visiting Boston Red Sox, moving them up to two games over the .500 mark with just 24 games remaining on the schedule. Things will not be easy this week as the Motor City Kitties head out for a dreaded West Coast trip.
On the other end of the road is the San Diego Padres, who await AJ Hinch and his gang in Petco Park for a Labor Day tangle on Monday, followed by a day off on Tuesday and then the final two games of the three-game series on Wednesday and Thursday.
