Brad Ausmus' pitching decisions may have created a difficult situation, but it was the lack of offense and apathetic defense that cost the Tigers a win on Sunday night.
It was a good pitch by Joba Chamberlain. The Detroit Tigers have awful luck out West, particularly against the Angels. Sunday's loss can be attributed to several things, but Chamberlain isn't one of them. The offense. The defense. Those are the main culprits. David Price was gassed. He still managed to get two outs in the eighth inning. He probably should have been pulled earlier in the inning, but he battled and didn't give up.
