Happy Wednesday, everyone! The Tigers walked away with a memorable win last night to open their series against the Orioles. As we prepare to see them go to game two tonight, we have some tidbits of news from the Tigers universe and beyond, so without further ado, we’ll just jump into it.
Detroit Tigers News:
Detroit has had contributions from up and down the lineup, and from some hidden heroes, like Jahmai Jones and his first pitch, first homer as a Tiger, along with some truly standout pitching. It’s been enough to carve out a seven-game lead in the AL Central, and the Tigers just took the weekend series against one of the NL’s best in the Chicago Cubs.
If the Tigers can hold steady, they’ll have enough to claim home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, which could bode well for a deep October run — Detroit’s 23-9 home record is the best in the AL. Precedent suggests not to count these Tigers out.
Will Vest talks about being part of the Tigers’ Renaissance.
Pretty, pretty, pretty good…
