The Detroit Tigers have reached the point where every loss changes the temperature of the season.
After falling 9-5 to the Chicago White Sox on Friday night at Comerica Park, Detroit enters Saturday with a 60-62 record and a 3.5-game deficit in the American League Central. The Wild Card race is tightening, too. Baltimore, Minnesota and Texas are part of a crowded group capable of turning one difficult week into a serious postseason problem.
Now the Tigers hand the baseball to Troy Melton, one of their hottest pitchers, with their season beginning to wobble.
No pressure, kid.
Melton enters Saturday's start riding 20 consecutive scoreless innings across his past three appearances. He has recorded three straight quality starts and produced a 1.46 ERA during that stretch.
