Minnesota Twins @ Detroit Tigers Preview

The Detroit Tigers (65-48) are set to host the Minnesota Twins (52-59) in an AL Central showdown at Comerica Park. The Tigers are enjoying a strong season, leading the AL Central, while the Twins have been struggling, sitting fourth in the division. Detroit comes into this game looking to rebound from a 2-0 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, while Minnesota snapped a four-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over the Cleveland Guardians.

For the Tigers, right-hander Casey Mize (9-4, 3.43 ERA) will take the mound. Mize has been a consistent force for Detroit, boasting a 3.44 ERA and a 9-4 record, with an impressive ability to keep opponents' batting average low at .240. Offensively, the Tigers are a potent force, ranking 8th in the league with a .249 batting average, 6th in home runs with 144, and 7th in slugging percentage at .421. Key contributors include Riley Greene, who is tied for eighth in MLB in home runs (26) and sixth in RBI (84), and Spencer Torkelson, who has 23 home runs and 63 RBIs.

The Minnesota Twins, on the other hand, have not announced their starting pitcher at the time of this preview. Their season has been marked by struggles, particularly in their last 10 games where they hold a 3-7 record, averaging only 3.1 runs per game while allowing 5.7 runs. The Twins' offense has shown some power, ranking 11th in home runs with 126, and their team batting average is .241. Trevor Larnach (.242 AVG, 13 HR, 46 RBI) and Brooks Lee (.247 AVG, 10 HR, 43 RBI) are notable offensive players. However, recent reports indicate the Twins have been offloading players at the trade deadline, signaling a focus on rebuilding their farm system, which could impact their immediate competitiveness.
