Detroit Tigers Defeat Athletics 11-4 in Series Opener at Comerica Park
The Detroit Tigers, holding the best record in the American League at 49-30, opened a three-game homestand against the struggling Oakland Athletics, who are 32-48 but have shown recent improvement. In the series opener, the Tigers defeated the Athletics 11-4, with Detroit's ace Tarik Skubal continuing his strong season with a 2.06 ERA, while Oakland's Luis Severino struggled after a promising start. Brent Rooker of the Athletics hit a two-run homer early, highlighting his bid for the All-Star Game, but the Tigers quickly responded, including a homer by Kerry Carpenter to tie the game. Despite the Athletics' offense typically ranking in the top 10, Detroit's offense has been more potent recently, ranking fourth in wRC+ in June, contributing to their positioning as favorites in the series. The Athletics have been playing better baseball lately, going 6-4 in their last ten games, but the Tigers' consistency and league-best record make them a tough opponent at Comerica Park. Coverage of the series and other Midwest baseball news was highlighted in local sports reports.
