The Detroit Tigers came down to earth a little bit over the weekend as the Texas Rangers came into town and won 2 of 3 vs Detroit at Comerica!

Detroit was outscored 16-4 over the last 2 ballgames and only lost their 3rd series of the season so far (Dodgers, Astros, Rangers) and they look forward to the Red Sox coming into town Monday night for a 3 game set!
After 41 games the Tigers sit at 26-15 and 2 games on top of Cleveland in the Central Division.
