The Tigers will try to salvage the finale of their three-game series against the Royals when the teams meet again Wednesday at 7:10 p.m. at Comerica Park.
Making the playoffs is looking like a daunting task for the Tigers, who lost 6-1 Tuesday night when Justin Verlander gave up three home runs.
Bob Wojnowski says the Tigers are running short on players, and on time, in their quest to make the postseason.
The Tigers hope the acquisition of Erick Aybar will be a utility position upgrade on their roster. They had to give up Mike Aviles and catching prospect Kade Scivicque to make the deal with the Braves.
