New York — It’s too early in the season and there are too many proven hitters in the lineup to base any judgments or form conclusions about the potency of the Tigers offense off this first week of games.

But the early results have not been encouraging.

The Tigers, in five games coming into play Tuesday, were hitting .140 collectively. They had 101 baserunners and had scored seven runs — one of those runs was walked in, another scored on a throwing error.

Things didn't figure to improve much Tuesday, on another frosty night with Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka pitching.
