Cause for Detroit Tigers' dreadful road woes? They gotta start hitting
After their 18th road loss in 25 games, the Detroit Tigers blamed a lack of routine for their lagging offense as the visitors.
NEW YORK – What’s wrong with the Detroit Tigers ? The Tigers (19-24) had one glaring problem in a 3-2 loss in the 10th inning against the New York Mets in Citi Field on Wednesday, May 13. The Tigers couldn’t come up with the big hit at the big moment.
They got just one hit in nine chances with runners in scoring position on Wednesday. That brings them, in the first two games of this series, to 1-for-18 with runners in scoring position. That’s the fast way to lose a couple of games.
But here’s the problem: It’s not just one game . They are 1-4 on this two-city trip, with one game left (at 1:10 p. m.
Thursday). HEALING TOUCH? Another absurd Detroit Tigers loss – but there's help on the way soon Zoom back more and they have now lost 12 of 17 games.
