DETROIT — One year ago, Jake Rogers caught every one of Tarik Skubal’s outings. Skubal won the Cy Young Award and a pitching Triple Crown. He gifted his personal catcher a Rolex as a thank you.

Until it wasn’t. Out of nowhere, the Guardians went from a 10-game losing streak to winning 22 of 31. That happened to overlap with the Tigers’ worst stretch of the season -- 11 losses in 12 games and an 11-18 mark since sweeping Cleveland on July 6.

Currently, Detroit is first in the AL Central, 7.5 games up on the Cleveland Guardians. The Astros are first in the AL West, a half-game in front of the Seattle Mariners. The ‘Stros won two of three against the Tigers in Houston back in April.
