But as the MLB-leading Tigers (42-24) host the National League’s top team — the Chicago Cubs (40-24) — Comerica Park is busy as ever. After drawing a crowd of 41,034 for Saturday’s matchup, the Tigers logged consecutive sell outs for the first time since the final series of 2024 against the Chicago White Sox.

DETROIT, MI - JUNE 7: Pete Crow-Armstrong #4 of the Chicago Cubs celebrates with Seiya Suzuki #27 after hitting a solo home run against the Detroit Tigers during the seventh inning at Comerica Park on June 7, 2025 in Detroit, Michigan.

The Tigers lead the American League. The Cubs lead the National League. A Friday night and, aside from hazy skies, the weather in Detroit was flawless. And arguably the best pitcher in the world, Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, was taking the bump for Detroit.

The Detroit Tigers continue their battles with teams from Chicago when they face the Chicago Cubs this weekend at Comerica Park.

Chicago Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd added to a great start to the season Wednesday, holding the Washington Nationals to two runs in 7 1/3 innings in a 2-0 loss.
