Rays 1, Tigers 0: The Tigers struck out 24 times and still almost won

The Detroit Tigers struck out 24 times against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, becoming just the 11th team in MLB history to strike out that many times in a single game. They lost, as you might expect, but it took 13 innings to do so. Rays pinch hitter Michael Brosseau — sure, that guy — hit a two-out, walk-off single in the bottom of the 13th to score the game’s only run, delivering a 1-0 victory for the likely-playoff-bound Rays.

Unfortunately, striking out 24 times in a single game doesn’t make for a very interesting recap.
