After being swept out of Los Angeles over the weekend, Monday was a much needed day off for the Detroit Tigers.
Failing yet again to produce runs, the Tigers struggles have been the complete opposite of what most thought would be their strong point. In almost half of the games played this season, the Tigers have failed to score more than two runs. Regardless of how good your pitching may be, this is not a recipe to win ball games.
However somehow, through 52 games this season and basically the 1/3 mark of the season, the Tigers find themselves right in the middle of the AL Central.
