Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal is well on his way to a second-straight AL Cy Young award, assuming he keeps up his current pace. Skubal leads all MLB pitchers

Tigers Hit Milestone Not Seen in 12 Years After Zach McKinstry News Wednesday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Detroit Tigers faced the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday at Comerica Park, trailing 7-3 heading into the ninth inning in a game started by familiar face and starting pitcher Reese Olson.

The Detroit Tigers didn’t spend as much money this offseason as many people thought they would, and it wasn’t for a lack of trying.

It's a strong contingent, and after Major League Baseball's announcement, that Tigers All-Star Game contingent just got stronger. It was announced that Tigers utility man Zach McKinstry is heading to the All-Star Game as the Tigers' fifth representative.

The Detroit Tigers enter the trade deadline looking to make an upgrade in their infield, and the Pittsburgh could have the perfect player.

If the M's can even up the season set at 3-3 or sweep to go 4-2, they'd gain the advantage, and would earn a higher seed than New York if the two teams finished tied at the end of the season. It could also be the difference between making and missing the playoffs entirely.

While Gleyber Torres fell out of favor with many Yankees figures and fans, Detroit seems to have welcomed him with open arms.

The Yankees, along with the Tigers and Cubs, are looking and monitoring this Pirates star who has a $70 million contract.

The Tigers know as well as anyone that the first round of the MLB playoffs are dangerous. They went to Houston and shocked the Astros last year -- and all it took was one great Tarik Skubal start and a timely hit from Andy Ibanez.
