The Detroit Tigers looked lifeless in yet another loss on Saturday, this one an 8-1 defeat against the last place Seattle Mariners. The M’s have outscored Detroit 21-5 in three games so far this weekend, contributing to the Tigers’ MLB-worst -212 run differential. The Tigers have won just eight games since June 1, and have just one series win to their credit since early May. Comparisons to the dreadful 2003 Tigers team, while unfounded last year, are completely reasonable at this point.
To call this a lost season would be an understatement.
