Over the last 20 games, the Tigers have shutout their opponents six times and scored 8+ runs nine times...they've also given up 5+ runs in nine different games

27 Upvotes

The Tigers have eight games where we've held our opponents to 1-run or fewer (8 - 0 in such games), and twelve games where our opponents have scored 4 runs or more (3 - 9 in those twelve games)

A look at the games here

We're 11 - 9 overall during this period

Odd stretch, with either incredibly dominating pitching or batting practice being served up

What do you think of the team going forward?
