Over the course of the last two weeks, the Detroit Tigers stayed right where they were to begin the stretch….fourth-place in the American League Central standings and losing more ground behind the first-place Cleveland Guardians.
After going 6-7 the previous two weeks, the Tigers find themselves at 29-30 overall and ten games back of first in the A.L. Central following a span that saw them get swept in three road games at Kansas City; winning three of four at home against the Toronto Blue Jays; splitting a short two-game home set against the Pittsburgh Pirates; and splitting a four-game road series against the Boston Red Sox.
