Tigers News
Wenceel Pérez emerged as the unlikely hero in last night's 2-1 win over the Royals, securing his first hit of the season with a late-inning go-ahead homer that sealed the game for the Tigers. On Jackie Robinson Day, it was fitting to see the Tigers wear number 42, channeling the spirit of resilience as they continue to trend positively with four wins in their last seven games. Their pitching staff is on fire, allowing just 2.7 runs per game, but it was Javier Báez's dazzling slide at home that reminded fans of the magic this roster can deliver. The team now sits at 8-9, with a promising +8 run differential reflecting their strong performance. With more games against the struggling Royals ahead, the Tigers look to build momentum and capitalize on their recent success.
