Fans almost saw the end of the losing streak Tuesday when the Detroit Tigers were able to string two runs together in the bottom of the ninth but fell short in the 11th inning against the Marlins. That marked the 7th straight game the Tigers were unable to eclipse four runs. Including last Sunday’s game against Oakland, the match was postponed in the 7th inning 5-3, not in the Tigers’ favor.
Offensive struggles have been no stranger to the Tigers this season. There once was a time when Tiger fans could find solace in a talented starting pitching rotation with an at-most sub-par reliever core.
