97.1 The Ticket -- The long 162-game MLB season can certainly take a toll on a team -- especially when you're in the midst of a brutal season, flirting with the record for futility.
Sometimes, you just have to have a little fun.
What better time than following a nice little road win to take the season series from a division rival?
After Thursday's 6-4 win over the Royals, the Tigers had their annual rookie dress-up day. At first glance, it looks like the entire team, but all 24 (!!) of the Tigers' rookies on the roster dressed up as Minions from the "Despicable Me" franchise.

— Joe Jiménez (@JAJimenez27) September 5, 2019The Tigers are headed off to the Bay Area for a 3 1/2-game set. On Friday night the Tigers and A's will pick up where they left off in a 5-3 game that was suspended at Comerica Park because of rain. They'll resume in the top of the eighth inning with the Tigers playing as the home team.
