Don’t let those Detroit Tigers get hot….right?

Last week, the Tigers hosted a pair of American League teams that are currently in the thick of the playoff chase in the Seattle Mariners and New York Yankees and came out with a blistering 5-1 record to inch closer to the .500 mark overall at 61-64, now 11.5 games behind the first-place Cleveland Guardians.

The Tigers were able to sweep the Mariners away to begin the week followed taking two of three from the Yankees that concluded last night with an electric Little League Classic extra innings walk-off at Williamsport:

Also, Tork is back!

And, the Tigers added two more prospects to the roster last week in Jace Jung and Trey Sweeney.

Lastly, the Tigers had no shortage of the dramatics last week.

This week, the Tigers will make Chicago their second home for the next seven games with three games at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday-Thursday followed by a four-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field against the worst team in baseball in the Chicago White Sox on Friday-Monday.
