The Tigers’ steadily shrinking margin for error magnifies waste. And that’s how they’ll remember this three-game home series against the lowly Twins.
A wasted opportunity.
As they fall further behind American League Central-leading Cleveland and the final AL wild-card spot, the Tigers will kick themselves that they scored four runs in three games against a team that ranks last in the AL in ERA and opposition batting average.
But considering their current difficulty in making contact, they’ll kick … and miss.
“We were in an offensive funk before they came here,” manager Brad Ausmus said about the Tigers’ 4-1 series finale loss to the Twins on Wednesday at Comerica Park.
