The Detroit Tigers kicked off their seven-game homestand this weekend with a series loss to the visiting Tampa Bay Rays as the good guys simply did not have enough to enact revenge on the team that blew them out of the bay to open the season. AJ Hinch’s squad now has two wins and three losses in the month of August, giving them a .400 winning percentage — which is not too far off their overall mark of .441.
Now nine games behind in the American League Central division, the Motor City Kitties host the first-place Minnesota Twins inside Comerica Park for a four-game series starting Monday night.
