The Tigers remain in the hunt to reach 100 losses this season, though a sole victory in their final five games would avoid the distinction.
Of course, it's been the same scenario for the past eight games — all losses. They're next shot comes Wednesday night, facing the Royals in the second game of their three-game series. First pitch is at 8:15 p.m.
Jordan Zimmermann (8-13, 6.19 ERA) gets the start for the Tigers, and he'll try to give the Tigers more than five innings for the first time since Aug. 18, when he lasted 5.1 in a loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
