From 2015-2023, the Tigers had exactly zero winning seasons. They finished dead last in the American League Central four times in that span. But last year, under manager AJ Hinch, the club turned a corner, finishing 86-76 and making a surprise run to the Ameircan League Divisional Series before falling to the Cleveland Guardians.

The first three hitters in the lineup for the Low-A Lakeland Flying Tigers Wednesday were Wenceel Perez, Parker Meadows and Matt Vierling. Not too shabby. The three rehabbing Tigers were temporarily rerouted to Lakeland because of bad weather in Toledo.

The Tigers are still first in the American League Central, while the Cardinals are second in the National League Central. Time: 1:15 p.m. ET Where: Busch Stadium (St. Louis, Mo.)
