Spencer Torkelson On 3 Years Suspension For Allegedly Involving In On the one hand, their bullpen, which was dominant early in the season, is beginning to falter, and their offense has occasionally looked dreadful.
However, with Tarik Skubal (2.25 ERA), Jack Flaherty (3.84 ERA), and Reese Olson (1.92 ERA), they possess maybe one of the strongest starting rotations in all of baseball, and there’s hope that some of Detroit’s young bats are starting to come around.
Colt Keith has hit.362 with an OPS of.906 in May, Spencer Torkelson is beginning to hit home runs, and Riley Greene, despite a difficult month, is one of the top hitters in the American League.
Even platoon players like Matt Vierling, who helped Detroit win 14-11 on Sunday with a walk-off home run, are contributing more to the Tigers than the average.
Although it may not seem like much, Detroit’s victory made it three straight, and that was huge for the Tigers going into Memorial Day weekend since they had lost their previous five games.
The Tigers have to make quick progress or risk losing ground in the AL Central. They succeeded in doing so spectacularly over the weekend, defeating the struggling Toronto Blue Jays three games to one. Meanwhile, they have been looking great in their “City Connect” uniforms.
