Tigers on the prowl
Don’t look now, but the Detroit Tigers are just 2.5 games out of first place following a win over Texas today to complete a three-game sweep of the Rangers. If the White Sox lose tonight to the Yankees, they will be just two games out.
The people who were writing off the season after the miserable first week might be having some second thoughts.
This team still has some flaws - most noticeably the starting pitchers who can’t seem to go longer than five or six innings - but the bullpen has been outstanding of late and the bats have really come to life.
The Tigers are averaging 13.5 runs a game since Curtis Granderson returned to the lineup.
