In a series that tested the mettle of both teams, the Detroit Tigers recently overcame the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. Despite losing the final game of the series which saw the Tigers take a 2-1 series win, the Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo expressed high praise for their opponents’ gritty performance.

The series concluded with the Diamondbacks salvaging a 6-4 victory in the final game, preventing a sweep by the Tigers. While this improved Arizona’s seasonal record to 22-25, holding fourth place in the NL West, the series win by the Tigers did not go unnoticed by Lovullo.

The Tigers are a good team. I would not be surprised if they made a lot of noise inside of the AL Central.
