Tigers News
The Detroit Tigers capped off a miserable road trip by getting swept by the Kansas City Royals, plummeting to a dismal 1-6 over their last week and leaving them with a 61-68 record, just four spots above the division cellar. In his MLB debut, Andrew Sears faced a brutal initiation, as the Royals feasted on the Tigers’ beleaguered bullpen during their 11-7 defeat on Sunday. While the offense showed some fight, highlighted by Dillon Dingler and Spencer Torkelson's contributions, they simply couldn’t match Kansas City's relentless attack. With the playoff clock ticking down, the Tigers need to find a way to turn this ship around, or else the rest of the season will be a deep freeze for fans, who have watched this team struggle through a run differential of -9 over the past week. Every game matters now, but the outlook is looking grim.
