Things are not going well in Detroit.
The month of May has been an absolute slog for the Tigers as the team only seems capable of winning in the front half of doubleheaders. Sporting a 2-9 record so far throughout the month, Detroit closes out a bizarre five-game series with the Oakland Athletics on Thursday that helps make up some of the games missed by the lockout. The A’s have already claimed three of four games so far in the series, so the Tigers have no chance of earning a series victory.
Still, a win would feel pretty nice after the 9-0 shellacking suffered on Wednesday night.
