The Detroit Tigers will finish out a series with the division-rival Minnesota Twins on Sunday night in a nationally-televised contest on ESPN. This is the 2nd-earliest by calendar date that the Tigers ever have been in first place by at least 10 games. Only their iconic 1984 team––which famously started the season with a 35–5 record, on the way to winning the World Series––were in first place by at least 10 games at an earlier date.
