The Detroit Tigers' 2025 season started with three straight losses to the Los Angeles Dodgers but has since been going well. They have won their last 3 series against the Mariners, White Sox, and Yankees, sweeping the White Sox, and held a five-game winning streak until Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.
