Detroit – It’s too late in the season and too much is at stake to pull silver linings out of losses.
The Tigers fought valiantly Sunday. Down 7-0 in the third, down 11-5 in the sixth inning, and yet, Miguel Cabrera stood at the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning representing the tying run.
But when left fielder Alex Gordon made a diving catch of Cabrera’s looping drive, the Tigers walked off the field with their second straight loss to the Royals – 12-9.
In two days they went from having a half-game lead over the Orioles for the second wild-card spot, to being 1.
