From an optimistic point of view, the Tigers scored some runs and didn’t give up as many as they did the night before.
So, there’s that.
But there's no sugarcoating it: For the second consecutive day, the Tigers were pounded, this time 12-2 in Thursday’s first game of a doubleheader in St. Louis.
This followed Thursday's 19-0 loss against Milwaukee, in case you forgot.
Jeimer Candelario produced the lone Tigers' offensive spark Thursday with a two-run home run in the fourth inning — Candelario is one of the one offensive threats of late — the Tigers trailing 9-0 at the time and having had 31 unanswered runs scored against them.
