LOS ANGELES — The Detroit Tigers stranded nine runners on the bases.
The first seven runners were stranded in the opening four innings against Dodgers right-hander Walker Buehler: two in the first inning, three in the second, one in the third and one in the fourth.
By the middle innings, the Dodgers enjoyed a commanding lead. The Tigers brought the tying run to the plate with two outs in the ninth, but couldn't connect, adding two more stranded runners.
The Tigers entered Sunday in position to win the three-game series, thanks to Saturday's victory that snapped a six-game losing streak.
