Tigers Push for Wild Card in Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh Pirates News

The Detroit Tigers are in a playoff race, clinging to wild card hopes with a crucial win in Game 1 against the Pirates. With a 61-64 record and eyes on that elusive .500 mark, they’re turning to versatile pitcher Keider Montero for Game 2 while Max Clark steps up offensively in Riley Greene’s absence. Facing Braxton Ashcraft — who’s pitched well but can’t stop this surging offense averaging nearly five runs per game — the Tigers aim to extend their franchise-record eight-game road win streak. Spencer Torkelson and Gleyber Torres are back in the lineup, both riding hot streaks, as manager A.J. Hinch looks to keep momentum alive and steal the series.
