MILWAUKEE -- The Tigers' attempt to play spoiler this weekend in the National League Central did not go well. The result of Spencer Turnbull's attempt to play himself into the conversation for a rotation spot next season remains to be seen. The rookie right-hander kept Christian Yelich quiet but couldn't stop the Brewers from closing Detroit's season with an 11-0 loss on Sunday at Miller Park.
The Tigers finished with a 64-98 record for the second straight year.
After back-to-back late-inning one-run losses Friday and Saturday, the Tigers stared at a potential mismatch with Turnbull making his third Major League start against a dangerous Milwaukee lineup.
