One of the tougher stretches of games on the schedule has arrived at exactly the wrong time. With three of their Opening Day starters already on the injured list, and a disastrous power outage from the offense, the 2022 Tigers are dangerously close to fumbling away even an outside shot at a playoff spot before they reach the 40-game mark.
The Tigers flew to Houston after Wednesday’s doubleheader concluded, to play a four game set beginning Thursday night. They’ll fly home Sunday night and start a six-day, seven game homestand with the Oakland Athletics, including a doubleheader on Tuesday, May 10, and the Baltimore Orioles who come to town for three.
