Detroit goes on the road this week to face the Nationals (19-12) and Orioles (18-12). The Tigers entered the season with playoff expectations but have dropped to fourth in the AL Central, seven games behind the White Sox.
“I understand that when you have a payroll like ours, the manager’s the guy that’s in the crosshairs,” Ausmus told reporters Sunday.
