Special to Detroit Free Press
No matter how chilly it might get around here in the middle of this week, the Detroit Tigers will be thrilled to be 2,387 miles from Oakland.
They started the week with a three-game sweep of manager AJ Hinch’s former club in Houston. That became a distant memory soon after they arrived on the West Coast.
The A’s swept a four-game series from them, including an agonizing 3-2 walkoff loss on Sunday. The run was set up by a fly ball lost in the sun.
