Detroit – The Tigers took another backward step forward Sunday, losing a sleepy, rain-soaked baseball game to the Baltimore Orioles, 8-2 at Comerica Park.
With the loss, the Tigers retain their 4.5-game “lead” on the Orioles for the worst record in baseball, the prize for which is the first pick in the 2020 draft.
Edwin Jackson got the start for the Tigers and except for a three-batter stretch in the third inning, he had things relatively under control.
Problem was, those three batters produced three runs in the pivotal third inning.
