Tigers News
The Tigers' struggles continued as they faced Tyler Glasnow, who delivered a masterclass with a mere two hits allowed against the Detroit lineup in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers. Despite a solid six-inning performance from Framber Valdez, the bullpen faltered again, highlighting a troubling trend as the team has now gone 2-5 in the last week, averaging a dismal 2.3 runs per game. There’s a glimmer of hope on the horizon with Riley Greene potentially returning to the lineup as early as Tuesday, which the Tigers desperately need to shake things up. But with a record of 63-72 and playoff dreams fading, the fans at Comerica Park might be singing Journey's anthem with more resignation than belief.
