The Detroit Tigers are in danger of blowing what was once a 15½-game lead in the American League Central division. After being swept by the Cleveland Guardians, Detroit entered a new series on Friday against the Atlanta Braves looking to take care of business. But the Tigers did anything but that.
Charlie Morton had a rough day, allowing six runs in the first two innings and Detroit lost by a final score of 10-1. After Saturday's loss, the Tigers have now dropped five games in a row and eight of nine. The AL Central standings have been completely flipped on their head, with the Guardians just once game back of the Tigers entering Sunday's games.
