The regular season is winding down for the Detroit Tigers as a summer of misery slowly draws to a close. The Motor City Kitties are only nine defeats away from their first 100-loss season since 2019, a brutal campaign that saw the team lose 114 games. With just 16 more games remaining, the Tigers need to play .500 ball or better the rest of the way to prevent reaching the century mark.
However unlikely that seems, they play the games for a reason as anything can happen in the sport of baseball. Recall that back in 2003, when Detroit lost 119 games, the team managed to win five of their last six to prevent tying or breaking the New York Mets’ all-time futility record.
