In their recent matchup on July 2nd against the Twins, the Tigers demonstrated a solid performance despite falling short in a 5-3 game. Their ability to keep errors at bay while managing to secure hits under pressure was notable. However, it was in their game on June 30th against the Angels where the Tigers truly shined, overcoming them with a thrilling 7-6 victory. This win was characterized by an explosive fourth inning where they scored three runs and followed up with another three runs in the fifth inning, showcasing their offensive capabilities.


The key takeaway from these past performances is Detroit's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities when they arise. With an impressive seven runs scored during that pivotal game against the Angels, it's clear that when the Tigers' bats get hot, they can change the course of any game.
