Tigers at Bat: Can They Turn It Around? | MLB News

The Detroit Tigers are clinging to playoff hope, just one game behind the AL’s third Wild Card spot, but a brutal home sweep by the White Sox has stalled their momentum. Despite being four games under .500, they’ve been competitive thanks to a strong second-half record and breakout performances from rookies Eduardo Valencia and Ben Malgeri — plus a hot bat from Gleyber Torres. Injuries and slumps have hurt, but the talent is there. Tonight, they face a fading Pittsburgh Pirates team still chasing their best record in nearly 10 years. Framber Valdez looks to rebound on the mound against Carmen Mlodzinski — if Valdez pitches well, the Tigers might not need offense, but if not, big innings will be essential to reignite their postseason dreams.
