The Detroit Tigers rebuild is in overdrive thanks to production from some unlikely sources
The Detroit Tigers enter Friday 53-58, coming off an 8-1 win over the Red Sox with another scrappy and aggressive offensive performance. Their quietly effective bullpen came through yet again after 5 scoreless innings from starter Tarik Skubal. But this roster’s successes go beyond the mound. Players that did not make the opening day trip continue to play an integral role in the team’s fortune.
