Tigers Look to Extend Winning Streak in Weekend Series Against Red Sox

The Detroit Tigers are riding high after an impressive 6-0 homestand that not only erased a five-game losing streak but also pushed them above .500 for the first time since late March. As they head to Fenway Park for a four-game series against the Boston Red Sox, the Tigers are eager to maintain their momentum.

The Red Sox, on the other hand, started the 2026 season slowly, suffering five consecutive losses following their season-opening victory against the Cincinnati Reds. However, they have bounced back with series wins over the Milwaukee Brewers and St. Louis Cardinals. Despite entering the weekend off a series loss to the Minnesota Twins, Boston managed to salvage a game with a win in Wednesday’s finale, providing a glimmer of hope as they face the Tigers.

On the mound for Detroit will be right-hander Casey Mize, who has shown signs of his splitter finally reaching its potential this season. He carries a record of 1-1 with a 3.94 ERA. Opposing him will be lefty Ranger Suarez, who has had a modest start with a 1-1 record and a 5.02 ERA. This matchup promises to be an intriguing battle as both teams look to solidify their standing.
