Unfortunately, this pattern of ups and downs is something that Detroit Tigers fans are having to get used to in 2019. The Tigers offense looked flat out dull not even a full day removed from putting up just their second double-digit run performance of the year. For a team that has had some pretty tough losses already this season, Thursday afternoon was particularly hard to watch.
Only nine days into the month, Thursday afternoon was already the second time Detroit allowed their opponents 13 runs or more in May, the other being a 15-3 loss to Kansas City on May 4th.
