Should the Detroit Tigers call up Kevin McGonigle, the second-late League of Major League Baseball?
In “The Day of Roaring,” Evan Petzold invited Chris Brown of the Tigers Little League Report to debate.
The Detroit Tigers got back on track after a disastrous stretch before and after the All-Star Game.
The Tigers won 10 of their last 13 games against the Kansas City Royals Friday night, including a massive sweep of the Houston Astros in three games before the Royals.
Their recent strong stretching has helped restore the lead at the AL Center, but that doesn't mean the Tigers can take their footsteps out of gasoline.
The Royals sneaked past Cleveland’s guardian in the division’s rankings and are now second, 9.5 games behind the Central Tigers. This means Friday is the beginning of a huge opportunity for royals to make some noise and may put a little pressure on them.
The games that open on Comerica Park on Friday will only be viewed via streaming on Apple TV+ and will not be played on Fanduel Sports Detroit like most Tigers games do.
Here's what you need to know about tonight's big showdown:
