The Detroit Tigers return home after a successful road trip that saw them win five of their nine games, with four of those coming against their American League Central rivals. The Motor City Kitties split a pair against the first-place Minnesota Twins last week before taking three of four over the weekend to help drag the Cleveland Guardians out of the divisional race.
Despite the victories, AJ Hinch’s squad is still 10 games under the .500 mark and 7.5 games out of first, well out of striking distance for that playoff spot.
