The Detroit Tigers have clawed within two games of the AL Central lead heading into a tough stretch of the schedule.

Right-hander Shelby Miller agreed to a $3.25 million, one-year contract with the Detroit Tigers, a deal that includes a team option for 2025 and performance bonuses that could be worth up to $11 million over two seasons if he closes regularly.

The AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians have been below.

Angels star Mike Trout’s streak of consecutive games hitting a home run ended at seven, one shy of the major league record, and the AL Central-leading Cleveland Guardians beat Los Angeles 3-1.

The AL Central-leading Twins start a home series against the AL East-leading Yankees with their rotation in a dire situation.

If the Detroit Tigers want to be taken seriously this season, they have to reverse their frustrating struggles against three AL Central rivals -- and that starts this weekend in Kansas City.

Now that Carlos Correa has found his home in the AL Central, things become a lot more interesting when the Twins come to town.

San Francisco is still breathing, but needs help. San Francisco (29-30) needs a victory over the visiting Padres and a Brewers loss. “We just have to keep our head up and try to win,” San Francisco pitcher Johnny Cueto said. 2 seed in the AL — with a win at home against Cincinnati or a White Sox loss at home to the Cubs. Anthony Rizzo and the Chicago Cubs clinched the NL Central crown Saturday night even while losing to the crosstown White Sox.

DETROIT – Through 24 games, the Detroit Tigers are 12-12 - but if you're looking at their pitching stats, 12 wins is actually surprising. Entering May, the Tigers rank dead last in Major League Baseball in ERA (5.19), runs allowed (133), opposing batting average (.271) and WHIP (1.52). The biggest culprits for the dreadful pitching performance are bullpen arm Anibal Sanchez and starter Jordan Zimmerman. Zimmerman, through 5 starts, has an ERA above 6, with 19 runs and 5 home runs allowed. The Tigers are currently 4th in the AL Central, but of course it's only May 1.

Entering the game Wednesday, the Tigers are 4-0 in series battles within the division, including four wins in five games against the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota broke a four-game 2015 losing streak to the Tigers Tuesday behind a seven-inning gem from Mike Pelfrey. Shane Greene will lead the bounce back effort, taking the mound for Detroit in the finale. Greene allowed just one earned run in his first three starts, but got rocked by the Indians to the tune of eight runs in four innings Friday. If the Tigers win the rubber match Wednesday, they'll stay perfect in AL Central series, and move to 5-1 in series this season overall.
