Milwaukee — Two steps forward, one step back.
The Tigers, who had won the first two games of this series, never quite got started in the finale Wednesday, losing to the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2 at American Family Field. The Tigers had won five straight against the Brewers.
BOX SCORE: Brewers 6, Tigers 2
Talk about a shaky start.
In the top of the first inning, the Tigers lost the services of shortstop Javier Báez. He was hit in the left hand by a 93-mph fastball from Brewers’ starter Freddy Peralta and was removed from the game.
