Detroit — You can call it a comedy of errors if you want, but nobody in the coaches' room thought it was funny.
The Tigers played an ugly baseball game at Comerica Park Friday night. They made three physical errors, a couple more mental ones and ended up beaten, 4-3, by the 101-loss Kansas City Royals.
"We played really bad baseball the first three or four innings," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "Missing plays, not throwing the ball to the right places. It was one of those learning experiences, I hope."
Three of the four runs scored by the Royals off Tigers starter Francisco Liriano were unearned.
