Tue Jun 24 21:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Tigers Return Home for Homestand After Rain-Soaked Series

**Detroit, MI** – The Detroit Tigers are back in the Motor City, ready to kick off a six-game homestand after escaping Tampa Bay with a 9-3 victory Sunday, June 22nd. A sudden downpour seemingly energized the Tigers’ offense, preventing a series sweep by the Rays.

The Tigers, currently boasting the best record in Major League Baseball at 49-30, a game ahead of the Dodgers, look to continue their impressive run against the Oakland Athletics in a three-game series starting Tuesday, June 24th and running through Thursday, June 26th. The team is currently on pace for a 100-win season, a feat the franchise hasn’t accomplished since their World Series-winning year of 1984.

While Detroit has lost two of their last three series, they face an Athletics team struggling at 32-48 and sitting in last place in the AL West. However, the A’s have surprisingly played better on the road than at their temporary home in West Sacramento.

Fans heading to Comerica Park should prepare for potential weather disruptions. While Monday offers a respite from the heat, Tuesday is expected to reach the low 90s with high humidity, and there is a chance of rain in the forecast for both Wednesday and Thursday.

**Here’s the pitching lineup for the Tigers-Athletics series:**

* **Tuesday, June 24, 6:40 p.m. ET:** A’s RHP Luis Severino vs Tigers LHP Tarik Skubal.
* **Wednesday, June 25, 6:40 p.m. ET:** A’s LHP Jacob Lopez vs Tigers RHP Jack Flaherty.
* **Thursday, June 26, 1:10 p.m. ET:** A’s LHP Jeffery Springs vs TBD.

Tuesday’s game features a highly anticipated matchup between Tigers’ ace Tarik Skubal and the Athletics’ highest-paid player, Luis Severino. The Tigers have yet to announce a starting pitcher for Thursday’s game.

Fans can catch the games on FanDuel Sports Network Detroit and stream via the FanDuel Sports app and Fubo. Radio coverage will be on WXYT-FM 97.1 (Tigers radio affiliates).

Following the series against the Athletics, the Tigers will host the Minnesota Twins for a three-game weekend series. Sunday’s series finale will be featured on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball with Skubal slated to pitch.
