last night's win

Stuck in neutral. Won by 5 last night and the score reflects it. Pulling the other way, pitching at 6.7 RA/G. That's a problem.

Tigers News

The Detroit Tigers snapped a losing streak with an 8-3 victory against the Cincinnati Reds, finally leaving the sinking ship behind after a brutal shellacking just days earlier. Spencer Torkelson continued his red-hot streak, homering for the fifth consecutive game and tying a franchise record, proving he's not just a flash in the pan. Meanwhile, rookie Hao-Yu Lee made headlines by hitting a go-ahead home run off the bench, delivering a dream moment that will be remembered. On the downside, the Tigers are facing uncertainty regarding Tarik Skubal, as rumors swirl about the San Diego Padres potentially entering the mix for his services. With a record of 14-14 and a run differential of -10 over the last week, the team must harness this momentum and address the pitching woes if they want to stay competitive.
