Analyzing the past performances of the Tigers reveals a team that has been finding its rhythm. In their last game against the Pirates, they managed an impressive 8-0 victory, showcasing both offensive firepower with 10 hits and defensive solidity by not allowing any runs. This performance was underpinned by a strong pitching display that saw them achieve a shutout with an overall ERA of 0.0 across nine innings – a testament to their pitchers' ability to stifle opposition hitters.


The game prior offered a narrower margin of victory for the Tigers, securing a 1-0 win over the Pirates in what was predominantly a pitcher's duel. Despite managing only one hit throughout the game, it was enough for them to edge out their opponents. This victory highlighted their ability to win tight contests – an essential quality for any team looking to compete at the highest level.

Looking ahead to their upcoming clash at Fenway Park against the Red Sox, it's clear that maintaining this level of pitching excellence will be crucial for the Tigers. Their bullpen and starters have shown they can handle pressure situations effectively, which will be vital in navigating through Boston's lineup.


However, it won't just be about pitching; converting scoring opportunities will also play a critical role in determining success on June 2nd. With both teams showing strong defensive capabilities recently, runs may be hard to come by making every chance count even more important.
