The Tigers go back on the road after splitting a mini homestand against the Royals and Angels, looking either great and horrendous, depending on the night. The offense had a nice double-digit output on Wednesday against Los Angeles, but every other contest saw mild results. Meanwhile, the pitching left much to be desired, and unfortunately that trend will probably continue into the weekend.
Thanks to some earlier weather issues, the Tigers will be playing four games in three days against the Twins. Doubleheaders always cause some strain on the bullpen, and Friday’s starter is unlikely to do Detroit many favors.
