Tigers cough up ninth-inning lead, drop ninth straight with loss to Marlins

Detroit — You are almost afraid to ask what else can go wrong.

The Tigers took a 2-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning Thursday afternoon with closer Shane Greene looking to remain perfect on the season in save situations.

Five unearned runs later and the Tigers were beaten 5-2 for a record nine straight games in one homestand at Comerica Park.

They gave the Marlins two extra outs in the ninth, and Garrett Cooper made it hurt — whacking a two-out grand slam home run.
