Including the Tigers' loss to the Cincinnati Reds, all six of their teams lost on Monday evening.
If you're looking for silver linings, there aren't many. As the Detroit Tigers were hard at work losing a 12-5 stinker to the Cincinnati Reds -- one they were leading 5-0, no less -- their minor league affiliates were busy following suit. Each of the Tigers' five top affiliates were in action last night, and each of them lost in their own special way. The Toledo Mud Hens blew a 5-0 lead of their own. The Erie SeaWolves gave up 10 runs.
