What is the story about?
After a very dismal week of play for the Tigers (and potentially a curse placed by getting rid of Ryan Kreidler?), the Tigers have finally left the West Coast and have settled back into a nice, normal Central time zone. They had time to rest yesterday to shake off being swept by the A’s, and now they’ll see the Royals, where once again the games will help tip the scales of AL Central leadership. We very recently saw the Tigers take on the Royals with great success. This time, they’ll be on the Royals’
home turf, but hopefully, it will be a big turnaround weekend for Detroit.
Let’s get right into the little news tidbits of the past day.
