Detroit — Those 2022 Detroit Tigers just keep on making history.
Kicking off the season's penultimate homestand, Detroit was blanked at Comerica Park by the Houston Astros, 7-0, on Monday night, to set a modern franchise record for most shutouts in a single season with 21.
The Tigers collected six hits — all of them singles besides a Willi Castro double in the third — but couldn't scrape a runner across. Two runners were thrown out at home plate and five were left on base.
Detroit's previous franchise record for shutout losses was set in 1975.
