Tigers Vs. Indians
Tigers at Comerica Park doesn't seem like the best way to start June in a positive way.
Cleveland will try to win for the second time in 12 road games against Detroit in Tuesday night's opener of a three-game series.
After reaching a season-high seven games over .500 on May 20, the Tigers (26-24) have dropped seven of nine - including three of four at home against Oakland this weekend.
Detroit has been inconsistent offensively over those nine games, scoring its only run in Sunday's 4-1 loss on Austin Jackson's pinch-hit infield single. The Tigers have scored 16 runs in their past two wins, highlighted by a 10-2 victory Saturday, and 17 in their last seven losses.
"We just aren't doing much offensively," manager Jim Leyland said. "We had the one pretty good game yesterday where we blew it open a little late, but no, we aren't doing much. That's an understatement."
