The Detroit Tigers took two of three games from the Chicago Cubs at Comerica Park this past weekend, with star pitchers Tarik Skubal and Jack Flaherty leading the way in the Motor City.

The Tigers' series win helped manager AJ Hinch's team bounce back from its previous series, which they lost to the Chicago White Sox.

The Tigers' three-game set with the Cubs included large, boisterous crowds throughout the weekend, a welcome sight for fans of the historic baseball franchise.

Following the series, the Tigers' public relations account share a historic news announcement showing just how popular the Tigers' matchup with the Cubs was both locally and throughout the Midwest.

"Two of MLB's best teams and fanbases came together this weekend, selling out Comerica Park for three straight days," the Tigers' PR account wrote on X.

"It's the 2nd-highest attendance (121,509) for a three-game series in Detroit since 2015, topped only by last season's playoff-clinching series vs. CWS (Chicago White Sox). #RepDetroit," the account added.

The Tigers possess the best record in the American League at 43-24, one game ahead of the New York Mets for the best record in Major League Baseball.

Last season's playoff exit at the hands of the Cleveland Guardians looms large as the Tigers head toward the All-Star Break.

Detroit is a team on a mission, with their sights set on a World Series championship. Expect fan support to continue to grow as the Tigers continue their march toward baseball's second season.
