After making his first three starts on the road, Tarik Skubal takes the mound in Detroit this afternoon. He went 9-1 with a 2.13 ERA at Comerica Park last season, the lowest home ERA of any pitcher in the American League.

A few clips from the last few days that includes Ben Malgeri, Max Clark, Izaac Pacheco, Zach McDonald, Carson Rucker, Hunter Dobbins, Garrett Pennington with a classic Iggy Pop track playing throughout.


Via our research department aka @ChrisBrown0914 in this case:Riley Greene is the 16th Tigers hitter ever with 2 hits, BB, SB, and 4RBI in a game.
TMLR

Via the @DetroitTigersPR; McGonigle is the first Tigers player with 6+ doubles through his first 15 MLB games since Brennan Boesch in 2010 (6 through 15).

Ricky Vanasco has recorded 20 outs in AAA so far..14 by Strikeout..has allowed 4 hits zero runs in 6.2 IP.

Kenley Jansen has a unique connection to Detroit as we relive a moment from nearly 2 decades ago. Tune in to Tigers pregame today on @WatchDSN for more on Kenley’s journey to Detroit as he approaches 500 career saves.

Phil Garner wasn't a winner with the Tigers, except in the manner that most mattered -- as a man

Garner made sure the personal always transcended baseball. His time with the Tigers during a rugged transition stands out for the way he steadfastly kept people first.

Justin Verlander likely to need rehab start before activation

It sounds like Keider Montero is likely to get at least two more starts.

It turns out the Tigers have been extremely unlucky on offense (and it will change)

Underlying metrics may offer some explanation for a struggling Tigers offense.
