The Tigers overcame a shaky start and early three-run deficit to force extra innings and briefly took a lead only to bobble and literally throw the game away in the bottom of the tenth. Now they will need to try for a win to avoid yet another sweep in Los Angeles and they will need to go through one of the Angels’ toughest pitchers to do so.
With 26 games remaining in the regular season, the Tigers remain in serious danger of finishing with 100 losses. In fact, it’s looking quite likely the way they’ve played recently...well okay, all year long.
