The 2004 Detroit Tigers season was the team's 104th season and its fifth at Comerica Park. It involved the Detroit Tigers attempting to win the American League Central. The team set a major league record with 11 players on the team hitting at least 10 home runs. The Tigers' 104th season ended with the team finishing in fourth place at 72–90, 29 games better than their disastrous season of the previous year.
