The Detroit Tigers won their seventh straight last night, and now, not only do they have the lead in their division, but also the best record in the MLB. They swept a division rival, the Minnesota Twins, for the second time this season, and are rolling behind stellar pitching from both the starting rotation as well as the bullpen. Let's hope they can keep this up and be in this spot in September. As nice as it is to be in first right now, it's a marathon, not a sprint as they always say.

The Tigers have some important series coming up. This weekend is the Sparky Anderson classic, a series with Sparky's other team, the Cincinnati Reds. After that, there are two division series, one with the weak Kansas City Royals, one with the Cleveland Indians,. Then, they take on two of the more popular teams in the American League at home. First, a four game series with the New York Yankees, then a weekend series with the Boston Red Sox. If they can come out of those two with some good wins, it should put the Tigers on a more national stage.
