Tigers struggle as 2026 season falls to 22-38 record

The Detroit Tigers' disappointing 2026 season continues as they dropped to 22-38 after losing 22 games in May, winning just six. This record ties them for the worst in Major League Baseball. Ken Rosenthal from The Athletic highlights that no MLB team has made the postseason with a record this poor, noting only the 1914 Boston Braves achieved such a feat. Despite their struggles, the Tigers are only 7 games out of a Wild Card spot, with potential reinforcements on the horizon as Tarik Skubal and Kerry Carpenter could return to bolster the lineup.
