## Resource

The Detroit Tigers are hitting the All-Star break with a record that’s not where fans hoped — eight games under .500, fourth in the division — but their second-half surge since June 1 is undeniable. They’ve posted the best record in the AL during that stretch and boast a positive run differential. Key All-Stars like catcher Dillon Dingler (career highs in HR and RBI) and outfielder Riley Greene (third straight All-Star) are leading the charge, while rookie Kevin McGonigle is making waves at shortstop and third base. The starting rotation, anchored by Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize, is elite, with rookie Troy Melton adding unexpected depth. The bullpen and DH spot remain weak spots, and close-game struggles have hurt their record, but with the season still young and key pieces stepping up, the Tigers are showing flashes of the potential that made them a preseason favorite.
