Mark and Evan talk the Detroit Tigers’ 3rd spot in the AL Central this week. The guys note the improved approach on offense and how the team is drawing more walks. They also cover the recent lapses in defense and highlight the stellar performance of the bullpen so far. The guys also tip their hats to Kerry Carpenter and focus in on Spencer Torkelson’s struggles. After the break, “Days of Roar” is pleased to welcome to the show Jaylon Thompson, Kansas City Royals beat writer for The Kansas City Star. Jaylon offers insights on the seemingly unexpected hot start for the Royals and what’s clicking right for the team. Later in the pod, Mark and Evan zoom in on the Tigers’ starting pitching rotation and Casey Mize’s bulldog tenacity in his last outing against the Twins.
