Detroit — Kids got to run the bases after the game Sunday, and they did it with glee. It got so clogged at times, you’d swear the Tigers’ bullpen was still out there heaving.
This is all that remains of the season — seeing what the kids can do. And yes, that includes this Justin Verlander kid, who showed more signs of promise, heating up to strike guys out, as he tries to recapture what he once had.
There’s no looking back now, as the Tigers bombed against a basement-dweller, losing to the Red Sox 7-2 and accelerating their inevitable fade.
