To say the Tigers were in a slump was an understatement. Ever since that Monday make-up game against the Chiba Lotte Marines on June 5, the team found itself unable to put together a three-game series win: they dropped 2 of 3 to the Eagles, Fighters, Buffaloes and Hawks, before getting swept by the Baystars and losing their 7-week tenure in first place. But sometimes, a home series against the Chunichi Dragons is all they need to right the ship. They combined to score 21 runs across three games against the team with the best ERA in the Central, winning two games and moving right back into first place where they belong! On to Tokyo to face the Giants this weekend! Keep the good times rolling, guys!
