Tigers down 5 - 0 in the bottom of the 3rd inning .

 

Welcome to the MLB, Lewicki.

 

Tigers staging a rally with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning . Detroit now trails Kansas City 5 to 3 in the bottom of the sixth inning .

 

Royals pick up a run and lead the Tigers 6 to 3 in the eighth inning .

 

Detroit keeps fighting but falls just short and loses to the Royals by a final score of 7 - 6.

 

A rough season finally is winding down. I'm actually looking forward to the rebuild. At least they're looking toward the long term instead of a year-by-year situation that always seems to end in disappointment.

All 75 fans seeing a show by the Tigers.

 

That attempted catch at the wall by Jacoby was really something special. He just missed making the catch of a lifetime.

 

Tigers win 13 to 2 over the Royals.

At a .428 PCT., the Tigers' projected record would be 69 - 93. That would avoid a 100 loss season.

At a .300 PCT. (last 10 streak), the Tigers' projected record would be 66 - 96. That would still avoid a 100 loss season.

Not suffering 100 (or more) losses would be a small victory of sorts.

Now whether they avoid last place in the AL Central is another matter.

 

Tigers and Royals knotted at 2 runs a piece in the bottom of the fifth inning .

 

Royals pull ahead of the Tigers by a score of 6 to 2 in the seventh inning
