Game on MLBN. Nice.

Jung RBI Single ! 3-1.

 

[nydo77]

The 2nd bases loaded with 2 out chance fails. We would probably be ahead by another run or two, with some strike zone discipline.

 

[biggunsbob]

Twice tigers have had bases loaded .
Greene and Baez both K’d

 

[biggunsbob]

Last time the Tigers had the AL's best record after 25+ games: May 30, 2014. Their record was 31-20. That year's staff included 5 eventual Cy Young winners: Scherzer, Verlander, Price, Porcello, Ray.

Per A.J. Hinch, the team will make an announcement on who the game 2 starter, depending on how game one goes. In other words, pitching chaos.

Tigers should get ahead of extension talks with Jack Flaherty to avoid contract hassle

Jack Flaherty is performing at a level that warrants more than the Tigers' $10 million player option would give him in 2026.
