The Detroit Tigers came up short again against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night, falling by a 3-1 final score to drop the first two of the four-game home series.
The Motor City Kitties’ offense has struggled of late, plating just a single run in the past three games against mostly subpar pitching. However, they are still seventh in batting average (.255), ninth in on-base percentage (.327) and eighth in slugging (.415), adding up to a seventh-overall ranking in OPS (.742).
What might be of bigger concern is the pitching staff, which has been navigating through injuries and poor performances as the season wears on.
