DETROIT -- For eight-plus innings, the Tigers got the deep start from David Price that they needed. For three innings, they got big outs from the bullpen. For the final 11 innings, they got blanked by Mariners pitching.
In the end, for the second time in three games and the third time in 10, they got the bullpen loss that they dreaded. And as they headed out of town with a four-game series split against the Mariners, they were equal parts tired and exasperated.
"When we get pitching, we don't score runs," manager Brad Ausmus said after Thursday's 3-2 loss at Comerica Park.
