That was quite a month of May for our Detroit Tigers.

While still last in the AL Central after Minnesota won on Sunday, they’ve done enough
Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal put on a headset and stood at the end of the dugout, Skubal was doing an in-game interview on Bally Sports Detroit on Monday afternoon as the Tigers played in Milwaukee, and something went whizzing by his head.
