The Detroit Tigers’ 2022 season of misery received a brief respite Friday night, as their offense scored four runs against the Baltimore Orioles and held on for a two-run victory. The win improved their record to 10-23 this season.
Even so, it’s still the 10th time since 1901 they’ve opened a season with wins in fewer than a third of their first 33 games; the 10-23 record is tied for the third-worst start in franchise history. Of course, they still entered Saturday’s action with nearly 80% of their schedule left to play. But is the season over already?
