Tigers News
The Detroit Tigers are reeling after being swept by the New York Mets, a stark reminder of the uphill battle they face as they sit at 19-22. Despite seizing early leads in all three games, the Tigers crumbled, showcasing a disturbing trend of failing to hold onto advantages. A.J. Hinch's fiery ejection during the series only highlighted the team's frustrations, as they now look to regroup. On a brighter note, rookie Kevin McGonigle is exceeding expectations, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil. However, with a troubling 2-5 record over the past week and a -8 run differential, the Tigers have plenty of work to do if they want to turn their season around.
