The Detroit Tigers had a solid showing in Beantwon this past weekend having taken two of four from the Boston Red Sox to remain just one game under the .500 mark. The team now travels to the Lone Star State to face the defending world champion Texas Rangers over the next three days.
The Rangers enter the series with the exact same record as the Tigers as they continue to show signs of a World Series hangover. They managed to take two of three from the Miami Marlins in South Florida last weekend and swept the Arizona Diamondbacks at home in a two-fer the series prior, so they do have some momentum on their side.
