The Detroit Tigers — save for those involved with this week’s festivities — got a much-needed breather during the All-Star break and now open up the second half of the season on the road against the Texas Rangers.
The Motor City Kitties still hold the best record in all of Major League Baseball with a one-game lead over the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the American League Central Division, AJ Hinch and Co. maintain an MLB-best 11.5-game lead over the second-place Minnesota Twins while the team’s run differential is still the third-best in the big leagues at plus-87.
