Tigers News
The Tigers couldn't keep the momentum going, falling to the Twins 6-4 in a game that began with weather concerns but ended with a disappointing result. After a hot week, where the bats came alive and the team scored more runs in June than in the last 18 games of May, the loss stings. Framber Valdez took the mound but couldn’t deliver the needed performance to extend their recent success. Adding to the mix, the Tigers acquired Jacob Waguespack from the Brewers, a move that raises eyebrows as they aim to bolster their pitching staff without impacting the active roster. As the trade rumors swirl around pitcher Tarik Skubal, fans are left wondering if the front office will strike a deal or hold tight. With a record now at 28-39, the Tigers need to regain their fire and prove this June surge wasn't just a mirage.
