## Resource

After such a rough stretch, was a 4-3 loss to the Guardians at least a step in the right direction? The Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen and cohost Kieran Steckley go over the highs and lows of Tuesday night's game, including A.J. Hinch's batting order and pinch-hit decisions. Then they go over all the latest with Tarik Skubal, including how his throwing session looked in person. Finally, they discuss the recent performances of key relievers such as Will Vest and Tyler Holton. Plus, how soon could Troy Melton return?  Tiger Territory is the official Detroit Tigers Podcast of the Foul Territory Network. To explore coverage, visit aspcapetinsurance.com/ FOUL .
