With a stunning performance from Tarik Skubal, the AL pitching Triple Crown winner, the Tigers gave it their all, showcasing just how determined they are to make a deep postseason run.

In a thrilling Game 1, Skubal put on a clinic, dominating the Astros and securing a 3-1 victory. His stellar outing has only solidified him as a fan favorite and a key player to watch this postseason. The early attack by the Tigers off Framber Valdez set the tone, as they jumped out to an immediate lead. And what an electrifying moment it was when the Tigers took the first game, leaving everyone wondering - could this be their year? The MLB world seems to think so, with predictions and odds swinging in the Tigers’ favor.

But it's not all smooth sailing; as the games continue, fans have raised eyebrows over potential calls that left them feeling a little robbed, notably a controversial tipped strike in the ninth inning which could have changed the game's outcome. Nonetheless, the Tigers are determined to keep their heads held high as they prepare for their next challenge. To make the most of this playoff atmosphere, the Tigers are even hosting a watch party at Comerica Park for Game 2, welcoming fans to cheer together and partake in the excitement.

As the series unfolds, all eyes are on the Detroit Tigers. Will they capture the magic that got them to the playoffs in the first place? One thing’s for sure – their spirited fans and electric performances have transformed the organization into one that no one can underestimate. In addition to their thrilling play, it’s interesting to note that the last time the Tigers were in the playoffs, Justin Verlander was still a key player, and they are the first team to overcome such a lengthy drought with a roaring comeback in such dramatic fashion! Plus, keeping an eye on Skubal, fans are buzzing about the Tigers' young pitching talent that looks to be paving the way for future seasons. Buckle up for what’s sure to be an unforgettable ride!
