Brewers, Tigers meet amid hopes for late run

The Detroit Tigers are hoping a quick stop at home will get them back on track.

A week ago, they moved a game over .500 by finishing off a six-game winning streak. They've now lost five of their past six heading into a two-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers that begins Tuesday at Comerica Park.

Detroit's manager has also been struggling due to health issues. Ron Gardenhire did not lead the team the past two days, including in a 6-2 loss at Minnesota on Monday, due to gastrointestinal issues.

"I guess you learn from your losses and you learn from your wins," said bench coach Lloyd McClendon, who filled in for Gardenhire.
