Detroit — Manager Ron Gardenhire was in a philosophical mood before the game Wednesday, trying to find a pocket of hope amidst this dismal run the Tigers are on this month.
“It’s the greatest thing about the game and the toughest thing about the game,” he said. “You get another chance tomorrow. If you still feel like you stink, then you ‘have’ to play again tomorrow. We prefer the first one — ‘Hey, I get a chance to do it again tomorrow and make up for it.’”
They will “have” to play again Thursday afternoon.
