Detroit Tigers Mired in Dismal 12-Game Skid After All-Star Break
26 Jul
Summary
- Tigers' elite lineup has collapsed, hitting just .209 with 9 homers in 12-game skid
- Pitching staff also struggling, with 5.28 ERA since All-Star break
- Team remains confident they can turn things around and contend for World Series
The Detroit Tigers, a team that had looked untouchable for much of the 2025 MLB season, have hit a major roadblock since returning from the All-Star break. Over the past couple of weeks, the Tigers have won just 1 of their last 12 games, a complete 180-degree turn from their dominant first-half performance.
The primary culprit behind the Tigers' recent struggles has been the collapse of their normally elite lineup at the plate. During this 12-game skid, Detroit has managed a dismal .209/.279/.319 slash line, hitting just 9 home runs. This is a far cry from their .252/.324/.425 mark over the first half of the season.
The Tigers' pitching staff has also failed to maintain the stellar form they exhibited earlier in the year, posting a 5.28 ERA since the All-Star break - nearly two runs higher than their 3.69 first-half ERA.
Despite the frustrating stretch, the Tigers remain confident they can turn things around and get back to their winning ways. As one of the American League's true title contenders, they know it only takes one big game to get back on track. With the playoffs still in sight, the Tigers are determined to put this rough patch behind them and make a push for the World Series.
