The Detroit Tigers are set to return home to Comerica Park for the first time in nearly two weeks after a successful 10-game road trip, kicking off a three-game series against the Texas Rangers on Friday night.
During their road stretch, the Tigers faced formidable opponents, including the Houston Astros, Los Angeles Angels, and Colorado Rockies. Although they were unable to secure a series win against the Astros, Detroit rebounded impressively by sweeping the Rockies, finishing with a commanding 29-9 aggregate score over the final three games of the trip.
This homecoming is particularly exciting for the Tigers, who currently boast the best record in the American League and a stellar 13-3 performance at home this season. They will look to maintain their momentum against the Rangers, who are also in the midst of a road trip having recently lost two out of three games to the Boston Red Sox.
The anticipated matchup features probable starters Tarik Skubal for the Tigers, who holds a 2.21 ERA, and Patrick Corbin for the Rangers, with a 3.28 ERA.
The game is scheduled for Friday, May 9, at 6:40 p.m. ET, and can be viewed on the FanDuel Sports Network Detroit.
This series represents a crucial opportunity for the Tigers not only to reinforce their strong standing in the league but also to capitalize on their home advantage. Fans can look forward to a thrilling series as the Tigers aim to build on their recent triumphs.
