The West Coast trip continues with another late night game, as the Tigers opened up their weekend series against the A’s in Oakland. It was Tarik Skubal on the mound (with a lot of his family in the stands looking on) up against Mitch Spence for the A’s. Also, might be worth noting this is

The Detroit Tigers escaped Southern California this week with one win in three tries against the San Diego Padres, which came Thursday night on a ninth-inning grand slam by Parker Meadows.

Olson needed 39 pitches to go two scoreless innings, allowing just a single and a walk, with one strikeout.

Sitting at .500, the Detroit Tigers needed to find a win to salvage a game from the San Diego Padres. They got some rocky pitching early and couldn’t do much with the opposing starter and it seemed like they were headed to their fourth losing sweep of the year and back under the .500 mark.

Welcome to September! The Tigers were in San Diego, facing off against the Padres, with their bullpen pulling full-game pitching duty, up against Joe Musgrove for the Padres.
