Scott Bentley breaks down the Tigers’ series win, spotlighting standout performances from Brent Herder, Ricky Vanasco, and a six-plus inning gem by Cater Montero. Key topics include Riley Greene’s hot streak, Spencer Torkelson’s defensive heroics, and the timely hitting from Kevin McGonigle and Wenceel Pérez. Analysis covers the Tigers’ struggles with Jack Flaherty’s control, ongoing defensive concerns, and the revolving door of roster moves as Will Vest hits the IL and Zach Short rejoins the mix.
With the Boston Red Sox—owners of one of MLB’s weakest offenses—up next, Scott Bentley previews the pivotal matchup and asks: can Tarik Skubal and the surging Tigers capitalize on this home-field advantage?
