GAME 96 - Detroit Tigers vs. Philadelphia Phillies, Sunday, July 12, 2026, 1:40 PM

Mr. 50mil per with 5 innings again. I dont give a shit about any of the shit hes been saying about wanting to be in Detroit blah blah blah. The guy just wants every penny he can get and clearly isn't going to put the team in front of that.
 
Boxscore. 2 freaking hits, Wheeler was lights out and so was their bullpen.
Shows us how far we are from going deep into the playoffs outside of 3 or 4 players.

Tigers slide into All-Star Break with second straight loss.
Detroit’s bat did even less than the did Saturday, and that wasn’t much either.

Tigers drop rubber match to Phillies in last game before All-Star break.
It went as advertised for a while.
On the final day before the MLB’s mid-summer break, the two best pitchers not selected to the All-Star Game put on a show on a glorious Sunday at Comerica Park.
Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler and Tigers ace Tarik Skubal dueled for five innings in the rubber match of the three-game series. But the battle ended too soon for Skubal.

Tarik Skubal comes up short in battle of aces as Tigers drop 2nd straight.
Detroit Tigers hitters found themselves on the wrong side of a dominant outing from a Philadelphia Phillies starter for the second straight day.
Tiger bats had nothing to offer against right-hander Zack Wheeler, who delivered six dominant, shutout innings to down the Tigers, 5-0, in the series finale at Comerica Park on Sunday, July 12. On Saturday, the Tigers threatened but could not deliver the big hit against left-handed All-Star starter Christopher Sánchez.
Freep

Tigers’ hot stretch cools with second straight loss to Phillies.
The Detroit Tigers were worried about losing momentum during the All-Star break. They can only hope they didn’t lose it before the break began.
The Tigers did little on offense and endured a brutal sixth inning in a 5-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday afternoon at Comerica Park.
Detroit (44-52) had won nine of 10 games before dropping two straight to the Phillies (54-43) to end the first part of the season on a sour note.

My impression is that he is more or less a guesser at the plate. He just struck out on a pitch that could easily have hit him.
They all guess these days. Not just the Tigers.
