They have flipped a switch these last two games. Flaherty didn’t implode and this dejesus went 4 innings of shutout pitching. The team with the best record losing 2 games at home to the team with the worst record.

Gleyber Torres' leadoff HR in return from IL sparks Tigers offense in rout of Rays.

Tigers blank Rays for 2-0 start in June: 'The past is the past'.
There was a somewhat cheeky item in the game notes Tuesday. Under the tag line, “June Slug,” it was noted the Tigers’ .821 slugging percentage led all of baseball and their 1.239 OPS led the American League – for the month of June.
Was it cheeky or portentous?
The sample size doubled Tuesday, the second day of June, but so did the production.

Tigers minor league affiliates.
Toledo Mudhens (27-31).
Toledo broke a five game losing streak behind the rehab start of Justin. Verlander. JV was Dominant in his 5 innings 4 hit 3/0 k/bb ratio in his start, and he was supported by 19 hits and 16 runs. .
Clark, Anderson and Valencia hit homers
Final was 16-1. Max Anderson lead the way as he was 4 for 6 with 4 runs and 4 RBIs . AM is batting .311.
Workman mashed :/ Wish he hit with Detroit !
Valencia mashed.
Max Clark lead off he was 1-3 with a homer, 3 runs, and 3 walks.
Malgeri mashed
I guess we will always wonder what would have happened.

The Detroit Tigers switched to a platoon system several years ago that utilized players capable of playing several positions, facilitating a flexible mix and match strategy. It was a way to maximize talent that didn’t have a lot of high-end players.
But now the Tigers are struggling with this strategy. Arguments can be made that some bench players are playing too much while others like Colt Keith should be playing more.
It is unclear if it’s the strategy at fault or the lower level of player talent.
And then there is Matt Vierling who played horribly last week in the outfield and confessed that his bad play was due to erroneously allowing his infield, not outfield, habits to kick in.
However, if the Tigers dropped this strategy, it would also put them at a disadvantage. A regular lineup where players are limited in the positions they play usually requires a higher level of talent which the Tigers don’t currently have. There would be concerns over who would man 3B, CF and RF.
And should Javy Baez return, would the Tigers hand SS back to him, moving Kevin McGonigle to 3B?
And where would Colt Keith play?
And what about 1B? With a set lineup, Spencer Torkelson, horrible defensively, would be playing there every day.
Currently, only Dillon Dingler, Kevin McGonigle and Riley Greene are solid choices to be playing 1 position every day.
What strategy should the Tigers use for the rest of this season?
Which roster strategy should the Tigers use for the rest of the year?
1. A more traditional set roster.
2. A platooning one in which players have more than 1 position.

I think it hurts the defense more than anything. If Javey gets back, the answer seems pretty easy.WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY.WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY
