For the struggling Detroit Tigers, the trend of injuries to pitchers and poor offense continued Sunday.
Right-handed starter Rony García exited in the third inning with a familiar ailment — right shoulder soreness — while Minnesota Twins right-handed starter Sonny Gray delivered six innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts.
That's two injured starters in two days.
Also, the Tigers lost, 9-1, in the series finale against the Twins at Comerica Park, as the offense scored one run or less for the 29th time in 96 games this season. Shortstop Javier Báez departed in the sixth inning due to a left upper arm contusion, which he suffered on a hit-by-pitch in the fourth.
