Winless Tigers Lose Sixth in a Row, 13-2

Posted Apr 6, 08 10:48 PM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(Newser) – Nick Swisher homered on the game's second pitch, while Carlos Quentin had four RBIs as the Chicago White Sox handed the Tigers a 13-2 loss Sunday night. Despite the second-highest payroll in baseball, the Tigers, the only winless team in the majors, are off to their worst start since going 0-9 at the beginning 2003, when they lost an AL-record 119 games. 

All six of Detroit's losses have come at home, and the Tigers were booed loudly by the crowd of 35,230 as the game unraveled. One of the few cheers was a sarcastic ovation after Yorman Bazardo got the last out of Chicago's four-run ninth. Chicago’s Mark Buerhle (1-0) rebounded from being tagged for seven runs on opening day, holding the Tigers to two runs and seven hits in seven innings.

    Jones Misses Hanging Out in Clubhouse Major League clubhouses are not what they used to be, reports Detroit Tigers reliever Todd Jones on his blog for the Sporting News. Years ago, players used to arrive late and leave even later after games, sometimes hanging out together til 3 in the morning. Now players arrive way earlier than needed and leave right after the game. Issues with the team are settled before the game rather than in long bull sessions after. More »
