There were signs of the Detroit Tigers’ offense on Wednesday night.
They seemed to be getting the breaks they were craving — a ground ball under the shortstop’s glove, bloop hits falling in — but it hasn’t come easy for this bunch.
Holding a one-run lead late, righty Joe Jimenez was ineffective, allowing all three batters he faced to reach, and though Daniel Stumpf did his best to control the damage, the lead soon was gone.
Two innings later, the Tigers lost when Buck Farmer allowed three hits to open up the 10th inning. The game-winner was an RBI single by Colin Moran.
