It was the rain that helped the Detroit Tigers avoid being swept for a second consecutive series on Sunday, as a long rain delay caused play to be suspended in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Tigers trailed Oakland 5-3. Since that game now has to wait until September to be finished, Detroit turns its attention to hosting the Miami Marlins in a three-game series at Comerica Park beginning Tuesday.
We all know by now how tough it has been for the Detroit Tigers to find any somewhat consistent success in the batter’s box.
