The Detroit Tigers lost for the fourth time in the past five games, and for the 37th time in 61 games this season.
Facing the Chicago White Sox, the Tigers' offense — worst in baseball — once again failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities in Tuesday's 5-1 loss in the second of three games at Comerica Park.
Although the Tigers (24-37) notched nine hits, the team finished 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and struck out 14 times. The White Sox, an American League Central rival, went 5-for-12 in those situations and struck out four times.
