They lost on a one-hopper that squirted between first and second, off the bat of Tampa Bay’s Mallex Smith, who hit the game-winning RBI off one of the more reliable Tigers’ relievers.
They lost despite having their best pitcher – Michael Fulmer – on the mound. Despite Fulmer looking a lot like his old self – he’d given up five runs in his last two starts.
They lost because Ian Kinsler couldn’t quite make a play on a hard-hit screamer. Because they couldn’t solve the Rays’ Chris Archer and his nasty slider.
