Minneapolis — Baseball is stupid, as Eric Haase once famously and correctly said.
How else do you explain the manic swing of the Tigers’ offense this month? It defies logic.
They were shut out three times in the first eight games of June. Opposing pitchers were threatening no-hitters almost every night, it felt like. They scored just 14 runs in those games, losing each one.
Then, for no obvious reason, it flipped.
In their last six games, including an improbable 7-1 win over the Minnesota Twins Friday night at Target Field, they’ve scored 38 runs.
