Happy Friday, everyone! The Tigers eked out a win against the best team in baseball yesterday afternoon. With Cleveland off on Thursday, this meant that the Tigers were able to get back to a .500 win percentage and also tie the Guardians for first in the AL Central. The team now heads home to hopefully have some better luck on their home turf (where they’ve been very good this season, going 10-2) and trying to get some of their good vibes back.
In our news rundown today we look at Kevin McGonigle’s impressive stats to start the season, and why Jason Benetti was the best fit for Sunday Night Baseball. We’ll also take a look at what might help the White Sox build a better stadium, and how Shohei Ohtani proved he isn’t completely perfect.
