Tue Sep 10 13:52:00 UTC 2024: ## Tigers Return Home After Successful California Road Trip, Facing Struggling Rockies
The Detroit Tigers are back in the Motor City after a strong showing on their recent California road trip, finishing with a 4-2 record. They return home to begin a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies, who are struggling near the bottom of the National League standings.
Despite winning two of three against the Oakland Athletics, the Tigers’ inability to consistently perform against top teams keeps them out of playoff contention. They are currently fourth in the American League Central, 8.5 games behind the first-place Cleveland Guardians and 3.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the last Wild Card spot.
The Rockies, on the other hand, are in last place in the NL West, 32.5 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. However, they are showing signs of life, having won two of three against the Milwaukee Brewers and three of their last four games.
The Tigers will be hoping to continue their momentum against the Rockies, who they defeated in two out of three games during a series in Denver last season. This series promises to be an opportunity for the Tigers to solidify their position in the playoff race while the Rockies look to continue their recent surge.
