Detroit — Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire hasn’t said much about the futility records the Tigers have been flirting with this season. But it’s been on his mind. Of course it has.
“As long as the clubhouse is active and fun, I can handle all of that,” he said before Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. “It’s tough, yes. I don’t sleep at night, yes. But I can handle it because these guys have been getting after it. … We’re just trying not to lose 60 at home. We don’t want to set any records.”
The Tigers and Orioles came in with 202 losses between them, but they put on a show Saturday.
