The Detroit Tigers did not appear poised to start their second-half off with a bang coming out of the All-Star Break. Not only did Detroit squander a 3-1 lead late against the Toronto Blue Jays a week ago Sunday, they lost a series to the OAKLAND ATHLETICS less than two weeks ago. You’re telling me that team is supposed to score runs off of the likes of Seattle aces Luis Castillo and George Kirby?
Of course, the transitive property does not apply in baseball. The Tigers dominated a superior AL West unit in the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night after surviving a late Seattle push on Friday night.
