Detroit — Now comes the fretting.
This losing streak is a doozy. And it could get soon get ugly if Tigers starters can't dig deeper into games, if closers can't close, and if runs galore aren't somehow pushed across by an offense that isn't exactly loaded with All-Stars.
The Tigers have now dropped seven straight games, with Tuesday's 9-7 dismemberment by the Oakland A's at Comerica Park a particularly cruel display of home-crowd torture.
It didn't begin ominously. Anything but.
The Tigers looked like exorcists ready to purge their long losing streak courtesy of a 6-0 lead built through three innings.
