The Tigers head into tonight’s matchup sitting 4.5 games back of the Twins for first in the AL Central. The good news for Detroit is that Comerica Park hasn’t been a welcoming place for Minnesota recently.
The Twins have lost 10 of their last 15 trips to the Motor City, which involved going 4-6 in Detroit in 2022. Scoring has been one of their biggest issues over that stretch, finishing with two or fewer runs in five of their last eight visits to Comerica Park.
Playing on the road has also been a struggle for the Twins this season, going 15-19 thus far while also dropping four of their last six away games. Although the Tigers have been inconsistent at home lately, they are 7-3 thus far against fellow AL Central clubs.
The Tigers have been receiving consistent play at home from a handful of players. For example, the trio of Javier Baez, Kerry Carpenter, and Andy Ibanez are each batting .308 or better with at least 11 hits in their last nine home appearances. Meanwhile, Jake Rogers has three homers and eight RBIs while slashing .304/.346/.696 in his last 23 at-bats at Comerica Park.
