In their recent encounter on July 13, 2024, against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Comerica Park, the Tigers demonstrated a remarkable ability to claw back from behind, securing an 11-9 victory in a thrilling extra-inning game. This victory was not just a testament to their tenacity but also highlighted their potent offense which racked up 16 hits. The game saw the Tigers' hitters maintaining an impressive .364 batting average and showcasing power with four home runs contributing significantly to their win.


Another notable performance came during their game against Cleveland Guardians on July 11, where DET dominated with a commanding 10-1 win. Their batters were relentless, amassing 11 hits and demonstrating exceptional plate discipline by drawing eight walks. This offensive onslaught was complemented by solid pitching that limited CLE to just three hits over nine innings.

However, it's not just about offense; DET's fielding has been commendable as well. In the same game against CLE, they did not commit any errors and displayed efficiency in handling plays defensively.


While DET's recent performances have been promising, they face a formidable opponent in TOR. The Blue Jays have had moments of brilliance this season and will look to leverage home advantage at Rogers Centre. However, given DET's current form and momentum coming into this game - characterized by strong hitting statistics such as .314 batting average against CLE - there is every reason for optimism among Tiger fans.
