A's vs Tigers: Road Battle for Redemption | Oakland News

Oakland Athletics head to Detroit aiming to break a three-game road losing streak, facing a Tigers team with identical 41-51 records but strong home dominance. The Tigers win 24 of 45 at home and explode for runs when they hit eight or more, while the A’s are balanced on the road with a stellar on-base percentage. This is only the second meeting this season, with Riley Greene leading the Tigers at .289 and Nick Kurtz powering the A’s at .271 with homers. The Tigers are on a 7-3 tear, outscoring foes by 22 runs, while the A’s are 2-8 in their last 10, getting outscored by the same margin. Both teams are missing key players — Tigers’ Gleyber Torres and Justin Verlander, A’s’ Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom — adding uncertainty to a pivotal matchup. Game time: 6:40 PM ET.
