2019 was the second-worst season in Detroit Tigers’ history, and the third-worst season of all MLB teams since 2000, behind only the infamous 2003 Detroit Tigers and the 2018 Baltimore Orioles. The statistics aren’t pretty, but it is important to take away as many positives as possible from such a rough season.
A look back on the year
Despite finishing so poorly, Detroit had a solid start to the season. They jumped out to a 7-3 start, winning a series against the Yankees and sweeping the Royals. They were 22-33 at the end of May, and that’s when things really started to slide.
