HOUSTON — The Detroit Tigers entered Saturday as the worst team in the American League.
If not for the Cincinnati Reds' embarrassing 3-22 record, the Tigers would be the worst in baseball. Detroit, losers in 10 of 12 games, sits at 8-17, for a .320 winning percentage.
The biggest problem is the offense.
"We're trying," Tigers shortstop Javier Báez said. "Everything's got to click. It's early in the year, and we're trying to build. Everybody needs to play. They're going to have ups and downs, and we will see how they come out of it.
