Tigers News
The Tigers kicked off their series against the Orioles with yet another disappointing loss, falling 8-5 as Keider Montero struggled on the mound, raising more questions about the team's direction with the trade deadline looming. This defeat follows a frustrating weekend in which Detroit lost two close games to the Royals, pushing their record to 50-55. Adding to the woes, they placed Kerry Carpenter on the injured list with plantar fasciitis, leaving a void in the lineup. Meanwhile, the antics of a rogue squirrel at Comerica Park provided a bizarre distraction during the game, reminding fans that sometimes the chaos off the diamond can eclipse the struggles on it. As the Tigers aim to regain momentum, the pressure mounts to make smart moves before the deadline.
