Tigers Throw Away A Second Consecutive Game
Have the Tigers literally thrown their playoff chances away?
For the second consecutive day, Detroit's inability to complete a seeming routine double play played a key role in a loss.
Two "not quite" midgame turns Sunday contributed to Detroit eventually losing 7-6 at Cleveland.
On Monday, an excellent takeout slide at second by the White Sox's Alex Rios caused Omar Infante to throw the relay of a double-play attempt into the dirt at first base.
The ball flattened out, squirted between the legs of first baseman Prince Fielder and shot into the dugout as two runs scored -- the two runs that turned a 4-3 White Sox deficit into a 5-4 victory that expanded Chicago's lead over Detroit to three games in the AL Central with 16 left.
