The Detroit Tigers are concerned about their struggles on the road, but for the near future all that’s on the agenda is continuing to win at Comerica Park. The Tigers return from another unsuccessful trip to finish the first half with nine straight games in Detroit, and they’ll be seeking an 11th victory in 12 home games Friday night when they host the Seattle Mariners. The Tigers have to be thrilled to be back at Comerica, where they’re 25-11 and will play 26 of their next 37 games. That’s especially true considering the alternative. Detroit completed a 3-6 road trip Wednesday with a 5-1 loss at Minnesota, dropping to 16-25 away from home. The Tigers have outscored their opponents 67-36 in winning 10 of their last 11 at home, and they’ll have to feel good about staying hot there with Max Scherzer on the mound.
The hard-throwing right-hander was sent to Triple-A Toledo with a 7.29 ERA in mid-May, but he seems to have corrected some issues upon his return. He’s 2-1 with a 2.42 ERA in his last four starts after holding Atlanta to three hits over 5 2-3 scoreless innings Saturday, leaving without a decision in Detroit’s 4-3 loss. Scherzer’s lone start against Seattle came April 18 at Safeco Field, where he allowed two runs over six innings in a 4-2 victory. That is the Tigers’ lone victory in five games against the Mariners. That game took place in the afternoon, and that’s when Scherzer has shined this season. He’s 3-3 with a 2.81 ERA in seven starts during the day, as opposed to 1-3 with an 8.03 ERA in seven outings under the lights. That’s one reason the Mariners will be pleased that the series opener is a night game, and their ugly afternoon record is another. Seattle dropped to a major league-worst 8-19 during the day with Thursday’s 4-2 loss to the New York Yankees, missing out on a chance to sweep the World Series champions.
