DETROIT -- Two longstanding franchises meet up in the Motor City on Saturday afternoon, as the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Dodgers face off in the middle matchup of their three-game series. The good times had to end for the Tigers eventually. Unfortunately, it came in a disappointing fashion on Friday, as Detroit squandered a 3-2 lead late, allowing the Dodgers to score in the eighth ninth to steal a 4-3 win.
It ended a good stretch of games where the Tigers won six of their last seven games. A loss on Saturday would mark their first series defeat in over a week. Detroit is fourth in the American League Cental, 13 games back of the first-place Cleveland Guardians, and seven behind the Boston Red Sox for the last Wild Card spot.
The win was needed for the Dodgers, as it ended the team’s four-game losing streak. They are still atop the National League West, 7.5 ahead of the San Diego Padres.
