| Summary: | Just like the 2025 season, when they opened against the Dodgers and the Mariners on the road, the Tigers opening road trip has ended with a 2-4 record after a series victory over the Padres and then getting swept out of Arizona. Thinking of it that way, the Tigers are down two scores early in the third quarter of their first game. Obviously the Tigers need those three bats to give the Tigers similar production to last year, at a minimum. Even better, he’s been a bit unlucky and his control of the strikezone has been elite in the very early going. Now that’s he’s just a setup caliber reliever rather than an ace closer, having to put him into fireman situations is rather less than ideal.... |
