Tigers win. Excellent showcase for the national audience. 

Especially the All-Star candidates—Greene, Dingler, Vest, Baez and Skubal all shined.

The past 11 months have been outstanding

101-61 past 162 games dating back to last July 2nd, so almost a full calendar year.

The statcast stuff is too busy and overwhelming for me. Of course I’m not smart.

yeah - the pitch probability thing was quite irritating -  blocking almost a 1/4 of the screen.

[RandyMarsh]

4th time in Skubal's last 10 starts he's allowed 2 base runners or less. Unbelievable!

[Sports_Freak]

84-45 since last August 11th. Amazing.

With all four minor league teams also winning, we achieved Helter Skelter for the 11th time this season.

Any updates on Carpenter yet?

For the month of June, the Tigers won 5 series (all by a 2-1 margin), lost 2 series (all by a 2-1 margin) and split 1 series (4-gamer vs Chicago White Sox). Also on the 1st day of June beat KC in the tiebreaker of a 3-game series, which I didn't count. 15-11 record (0.577, 93 win pace) for the month. 

At 53-32, through 85 games the 2025 Tigers are 4 games behind the '06 Tigers, 4 games behind the '84 Tigers and 3 games behind the '68 Tigers.

Haven't read anything yet, but I won't be surprised if he is shelved until after the break.

I think “pretty optimistic” means not out for a month.

Tork gets BABIPed

Three 100mph+ EVs tonight plus the very pretty DP. How many 1Bs just pick up that ball, trot to 1B and think they made the play?

Wow..looking at the box score, every Twin hitter struck out at least once against Skubal.

And he did that thru the first 11 at bats.

I considered buying a ticket and going tonight but decided against it. That was a mistake.

It's been a long time since I was there on a Sunday.  I was mad because a wedding meant i couldn't go on Friday.  I considered just selling the tickets and making some money but when I found out it was an ESPN Sunday Night game, I exchanged them.  Then on Monday while at the game, with Skubal pitching, I realized he'd probably be pitching Sunday nigtht which was even better.

outside of winning a division title at home, I don't know this can be topped.  I was so focused on his strikeouts and catching Anibal's K record, I didn't notice he hadn't given up a hit until he did.

My son and I were two of them. Castro made that really nice catch at the RF fence right in front of us.
