Episode Details

The Detroit Tigers 2026 season got off to a rocky start with a disappointing road trip, securing only two wins against the Padres before getting swept by the Diamondbacks. Tarik Skubal has been a bright spot, boasting a 0.69 ERA and holding hitters to a .191 average. However, the teams offense has been struggling, ranking near the bottom in runs, hits, homers, and OPS, with only rookies Kevin McGonigle and Colt Keith hitting above .200. The Tigers have already suffered two shutouts, and key players like Kerry Carpenter and Riley Greene need to step up. As they host the Cardinals, focusing on protecting Skubals starts is crucial for contending in the division.
