It looks like the Verlander trade is working out for the Astros. Hopefully it works out for the Tigers as well.

 

10-4, Twins. Minny scored 8 in the 8th.

 

For 7 innings I thought the Tigers just might win the game. Then enters the Tigers bull pen and reality sinks in.

 

The Phillies and Giants also lose so the Tigers don't come any closer to worst in the majors.

Miguel Cabrera is getting a second opinion on herniated disks in his back. Bummer, no wonder he's been struggling.

 

Tigers lose 2-1 and suffer their 95th loss on the season. If the Tigers manage to lose the remaining 5 games, they will have that 100 loss season.

 

Detroit is now tied with the Giants for the worst record in all of MLB. The Phillies won today so they are 1/2 game ahead of Detroit. The Giants are losing 10-2 in Arizona so Detroit may not be in last place for too long.

Tigers sign Pedro Martinez Jr.

 

One of the reasons that Pedro Martinez Jr. signed with the Tigers is that they promised to let him finish his high school education first.

 

Well if the Tigers didn't have bad luck, they would have no luck at all!

 

Tigers win 4-1 over the Royals to avoid a series sweep and to avoid a 100-loss season. Detroit also snaps their 9-game losing streak.

 

The Tigers remain 1 game ahead of the Giants and 1 game behind the Phillies in the battle for worst MLB team 2017.
