Detroit Tigers
Written by Bret K.
The Detroit Tigers are currently in a battle for first place in their division. They are competing against the Chicago White Sox. At this point, they are one game behind to be tied.
There are currently 28 games left in the season. Out of those games, only 12 are to be played at home. The Tigers must play against the White Sox four more times. Hopefully we sweep the Chicago White Sox, putting us in the lead. We can and should win the majority of the games that are remaining.
The Tiger’s two hottest hitters are Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder. Cabrera has hit 33 homeruns this season alone, and holds a .331 batting average. Fielder is only ten homeruns behind with 23 and a steady batting average of .313.
The Tiger’s top pitcher is Justin Verlander. He won the MVP Award last year, 2011, for his outstanding performance game after game. This season he has been able to keep up with his household name, pitching 204.1 innings, and striking out 209 batters. Verlander has started 28 games and he has pitched six complete games so far in the 2012 season.
With this triple threat, the Tigers have a chance at winning the Division Title for the 2012 season. Tune in tonight to see or hear how the game goes against the Cleveland Indians. GO TIGERS!!!!
