The Detroit Tigers are now a month deep into a stretch of quality, competitive baseball. That seemed impossible after a 9-24 start in which they sported an ugly -74 run differential, but since May 8th the Tigers are 16-10, and they’ve outscored their opponents 118-102.
It’s been an impressive turnaround, and credit goes to everyone involved. The coaching staff seems to be pushing the right buttons, and veterans like Jonathan Schoop and José Cisnero have really picked up their game. Akil Baddoo made adjustments, Willi Castro has shown improvement, and Eric Haase has been a one-man wrecking crew.
