Detroit — All season long, Tigers fans could point to the not-so-distant past for a little relief: Well, it’s not as bad as 2003.
Well, at home, it was worse.
The Tigers closed the worst home season in franchise history on Thursday afternoon with another sweep, falling to mostly backups of the American League Central Division champion Minnesota Twins, 10-4, to finish 22-59 at Comerica Park, one game worse than the 2003 squad.
"We were terrible at home, we didn’t play well for our fans," Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire said. "It’s not like they didn’t try, but we really played bad at home.
