Tigers News
The Tigers kicked off their series against the New York Yankees with a convincing 7-3 victory, thanks to a masterful performance by Casey Mize, who not only secured his second win of the season but also marked A.J. Hinch's milestone 1,000th managerial victory. With Mize's sparkling 2.95 ERA, fans have reason to be hopeful, especially with the two-time AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal, set to face off against the Yankees' Cam Schlittler in a highly anticipated pitching duel. Meanwhile, the organization's slow and careful promotion of Ben Malgeri might finally be paying off, leaving fans intrigued about his potential impact. Despite a rocky 35-49 record, the Tigers showed they can compete, injecting a bit of excitement into a season that has often felt lackluster.
