Vmart line drive to right, damit! Hard hit but out #1

JD works it full then k's

It's up to Kza ton, no confidence at all
 
Well slap me silly Kza ton almost hit one out to tie it, hit right off the top of 420 in center and he only ends up on second cuz he thought it was out and was jogging around first, did the hand clap and all, Bradley almost caught the damn thing to. Tigers literally came within 5 inches of tying that up in the 9th. Just the way it's gone I guess.. This sucks

I hate comerica's center field. Tiger bats waste another decent pitching outing by a tiger pitchers.
 
Batters 1-4 0 for 15 with a walk. We aren't going anywhere like that. Same story as Friday night there.
 
J.D. Martinez: Just another dinger for the Tigers? slugger who has looked great since returning from his injury.

James McCann: Only one hit on the night for McCann, but it was the only damage the Tigers could do against Pomeranz.

The bullpen: Alex Wilson, Shane Greene, Justin Wilson were lights out, throwing four perfect innings and striking out six.

The rain: As annoying as rain delays are, the Tigers caught a break when the Red Sox had to go to their bullpen early.

1-4 hitters: For the second night in a row, the top of the batting order was awful. The men at the top of the lineup went 0-for-15 on Saturday night after going hitless the day before as well.

Hitting with RISP: The Tigers went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position. Both the ?0? and the ?5? parts are bad.

STATS AND REACTIONS:

Norris gave up eight hits and three runs in five innings before the rain came back. He threw strikes over 65 percent of the time, but still lacked efficiency, unable to record any 1-2-3 innings. However, it is important to remember that this was still just start No. 25 for the young left-hander in his career.

Although manager Brad Ausmus can be very reluctant to use his best relievers at times, he does not seem to have that fear with pinch hitting or running. The substitutions he made tonight turned out to be inconsequential moves at the bottom of the lineup, but he has not shown any hesitation when making substitutions to find some more speed.

Not to sound like a broken record, but the offense just does not look intimidating right now. Both runs came from solo home runs, and the Tigers struggle on a nightly basis to put any sort of rally together.

Standings update: 7 back of Cleveland, 3 1/2 back of Baltimore.
