DETROIT, Michigan — While MLB’s big boys are still struggling to find their identity, the Detroit Tigers have unexpectedly become the first team to reach 60 wins in the 2025 season – and they’re not just winning. They’re devouring every opponent in a way that has the entire league looking back.
Who would have thought? A team once labeled a “hopeless rebuild” is now sitting atop the standings, far ahead of championship contenders like the Yankees, Dodgers and Astros.
Under the guidance of head coach A.J. Hinch, and with the explosive performance of young players like Riley Greene, Spencer Torkelson and Tarik Skubal, the Tigers are rewriting all early-season predictions.
Devastating form
A 12-game winning streak at home.
Team ERA is in the top 3 in MLB.
More than 10 comebacks after the 7th inning – “spirit of steel”.
And what’s special? They don’t have a hundred million dollar superstar. They win with unity, smart tactics and an unmatched desire.

Riley Greene said after his 60th win:
“We know they laughed at us. But now, they have to look at us differently.”
At Comerica Park, the atmosphere is as fiery as it has been in a decade. Season tickets are sold out. Fans have changed their profile pictures to the roaring tiger logo. On Twitter, the hashtag #RoarCity is trending.
And the big question now: Who can stop these “Motor City Tigers”?
