Losing streak reaches seven for frustrated Tigers

Washington, D.C. — There is frustration, for sure. There is disappointment. There is even anger.

But the prevailing mood in the Tigers clubhouse Monday after another sudden loss, the seventh straight — 5-4 in walk-off fashion to the Washington Nationals — was bewilderment.

“It (stinks),” J.D. Martinez said. “Everyone is out here trying. Everyone comes in here early, working hard, doing everything possible to try and perform and win a game and end this thing. But right now, the ball’s just not rolling our way.”

The game ended very suddenly. With one out in the bottom of the ninth, pinch hitter Clint Robinson — 4-for-26 on the season — hit a 1-0 fastball from reliever Mark Lowe.
