The Athletics dropped their series-opening contest to the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday afternoon, falling 11-4 after a little rain delay threw everyone off. The Tigers build on their league-best record while the A’s continue to occupy the worst=team-not-named-White-Sox spot in the American League. They just haven’t been able to get back to where they were after the end of April and things won’t be getting any easier for them on this three-city road trip.
A’s get to Skubal early
Facing last season’s AL Cy Young award winner Tarik Skubal, the Athletics had their work cut out for them.
