Detroit Tigers at Texas Rangers: Series Game Times, TV Schedule, Live Stream
By Matt Snyder
The Detroit Tigers continue their road trip with three games against the Texas Rangers. Here’s how you can watch the games on TV or streaming online.
West coast road trips never seem to go well for the Detroit Tigers and this week’s journey to Seattle did not prove to be an exception. The Mariners swept the Tigers over three games to had Detroit their second series defeat since the All-Star break.
All is not lost for the once-hot Tigers, however. They remain in the thick of the Wild Card race (a half game behind the Boston Red Sox) and are still within striking distance of the Cleveland Indians in the AL Central (four games back).
As the post-All-Star-break run showed, the Tigers are a team capable of defeating playoff caliber opponents and are a threat to make the postseason, but the games in Seattle remind us that they’re not without flaws.
The bullpen, while improved over last season, can still be gotten to, and offensive depth is non-existent beyond the go-to nine. With Cameron Maybin, Nick Castellanos, and Jordan Zimmermann on the disabled list, they’ll need more than one role player to step up and deliver in the coming days if they hope to stay a factor in the race.
