The Detroit Tigers hit a rough stretch on their six-game road trip, including a three-game sweep against the Athletics in West Sacramento. On “Days of Roar,” Evan Petzold and Chris Brown (from “Tigers Minor League Report”) discuss where the Tigers stand in the postseason picture and evaluate if 96 wins is possible. The Big 2: Do the September call-ups really matter with all the roster shuffling, and is it time to worry about the Tigers’ starting rotation beyond Tarik Skubal? Kansas City Royals beat writer Jaylon Thompson joins the show to talk about the Royals, including their hunt for the third and final wild-card spot in the American League. We dive into Kyle Finnegan, Tommy Kahnle and the concern about the lack of left-handed specialists in the bullpen. We also touch on injury updates, including Parker Meadows and Paul Sewald.
