Coming into tonight’s game, the Detroit Tigers had lost four games in a row on their road trip: a sweep at the hands of the White Sox, and a lousy loss in the first game of the current three-game series in Philadelphia. The offense has been, well, offensive.
Could they turn it around on Tuesday?
Alas, they could not. A solo home run in the first inning was the game’s only run, as Philadelphia sent the Tigers to their fifth straight loss.
Showing just how desperate the Tigers are for starting pitching these days, Tyler Alexander started for the Tigers.
