Tigers News
The Tigers’ struggles continue as they remain stuck in a rut, currently sitting at 61-66 and lingering in fourth place in the division after a narrow 3-4 loss to the Pirates. Despite a recent influx of talent like Kevin McGonigle, who is exceeding expectations, the team has dropped to 2-5 over the last week with a disappointing run differential of -5. Meanwhile, the bullpen shows signs of weakness, leaving fans questioning the decision to let go of former top prospect arms. With Bryce Rainer showcasing his power by homering in his fifth straight game for the Mud Hens, the future may hold some promise, but right now, the present is a tough pill to swallow for Detroit fans.
