Tigers Push for Sweep vs Athletics | Oakland Athletics News

The Detroit Tigers are on fire, winning seven of their last eight games and looking to sweep the series finale against the Athletics. Troy Melton dazzled with a career-high nine strikeouts, while Jack Rogers and Spencer Torkelson crushed home runs in a 6-2 rout. Lefty Framber Valdez, despite recent struggles, takes the mound against rookie righty Jack Perkins — who’s been rough in the rotation with a high ERA and homer problems. With Valdez at 4-6, 4.29 ERA, and Perkins at 2-4, 6.75 ERA, this matchup could be pivotal as the Tigers chase their second series sweep in three tries. Game time: 6:40 PM ET at Comerica Park.
