Tigers News
The Tigers managed to scrape by with a 4-3 win over the White Sox yesterday, but overall, the vibe in Detroit is lukewarm at best. The Tigers have now dropped to 31-44 on the season, with their offense averaging a paltry 2.9 runs per game over the last week. Dillon Dingler continues to be a bright spot, but even his .263 average can't mask the larger issues plaguing this team, like their ineffective pinch-hitting. With the trade deadline looming and names like Tarik Skubal swirling in rumors, it’s clear the front office has some tough decisions ahead. Meanwhile, Zach McKinstry’s recent struggles have only added to the growing frustration among fans, as hopes for a turnaround seem to be fading fast.
