After taking the first game of the home stand on Friday night, the Tigers can clinch another series win on Saturday.
The Detroit Tigers just keep winning.
On Friday night, AJ Hinch and Co. opened up their six-game homestand with a narrow 2-1 win over the visiting Texas Rangers . Tarik Skubal again proved why he was the American League Cy Young Award winner last year and appears poised for another run at the trophy.
The team remains tied with the Los Angeles Dodgers for the best record in the majors while maintaining a 2.5-game lead over the second-place Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central.
