The Detroit Tigers showed up to the ballpark Sunday, but the results were ugly.
Cleveland starter Triston McKenzie completed 7u2154 perfect innings before Harold Castro lined a fastball for a single into right field to break up the historical attempt. (There hasn't been a perfect game since Aug. 15, 2012, when Felix Hernandez threw the 23rd in MLB history.)
After retiring the first 23 batters, McKenzie finished his outing with eight innings of one-hit ball with zero walks and 11 strikeouts. The Tigers (58-62) made too many mistakes in Sunday's 11-0 loss to Cleveland at Comerica Park, highlighted by giving up six runs in the second inning and five runs in the third.
