The Tigers look to get back on the winning track against the BoSox after losing a home series to Texas.
The first half of the Detroit Tigers ’ current six-game homestand has not been as successful as most of the season has been so far, with the Texas Rangers coming to Comerica Park to take two of three from the Motor City Kitties.
The franchise crossed the threshold of the magical 40-game mark over the weekend and held the best record in the American League heading into Sunday afternoon’s game. Unfortunately, the visitors prevailed in a 6-1 final , giving the home team just its fourth series loss of the 2025 campaign so far.
Next up on the docket are the Boston Red Sox , who arrive in Detroit on Monday for the second leg of the homestand, having won four of their last five. The Tigers still hold a 2.5-game lead in the American League Central over the Cleveland Guardians and Kansas City Royals — who are tied for second place — along with the best record in the AL entering Monday night’s affair.
The series opener will feature a pair of pitchers who both currently hold negative fWAR values in Jackson Jobe and Tanner Houck. Here is a look at how they match up.
