Tigers News
The Tigers’ season continues to spiral as they faced a disheartening 7-1 loss to the Angels, marking another missed opportunity to secure a series victory. Jack Flaherty’s struggles on the mound, now with an 0-6 record and a 5.94 ERA, put the team in a tough spot early against a potent Angels lineup featuring Mike Trout. Adding to the woes, closer Kenley Jansen has landed on the 15-day injured list due to pelvic inflammation, further depleting a roster already grappling with injuries. Yet, amidst the gloom, Wenceel Pérez's recent performance shines, as he went 2-for-3 with a power display that hints at potential. As the Tigers sit at 22-34, fans are left wondering if this underwhelming campaign can find a spark, especially with a thin pitching staff and a growing injury list.
