Houston — When your season is 162 games and stretches from April-October, you can’t get overwrought by any single series, nor is it wise to expand your focus much further than the game at hand.
Or as Tigers manager Brad Ausmus so eloquently stated, “(Forget) yesterday, (bleep) tomorrow, win today.”
Nevertheless, the Tigers reacquaint themselves with the reigning Central Division and World Series champion Royals tonight. The three-game set at Kauffman Stadium kicks off a stretch where 12 of the next 16 games are against division opponents.
“You want to play well in your division because you play so many games against them,” Ausmus said.
