Tigers on Verge of Series Sweep After Reds Wins

The Detroit Tigers are on the verge of sweeping a series for the first time since the season opener, following back-to-back wins against the Cincinnati Reds. The Tigers rallied with a five-run eighth inning to secure a 5-3 victory on Saturday, with key contributions from Parker Meadows and Wenceel Pérez. Rookie Colt Keith's two-homer game and Reese Olson's strong pitching performance helped Detroit win the series opener 5-4 on Friday. Detroit's ace, Tarik Skubal, will take the mound on Sunday, aiming to complete the sweep. Skubal has been stellar this season, holding a 9-3 record with a 2.45 ERA and 119 strikeouts. Meanwhile, the Reds, after a sweep of the Yankees, have now lost two consecutive games and are struggling to maintain their position in the National League Central.
