ARLINGTON, Texas — Only two more days left in this misbegotten month for the Tigers.
It started with crippling injuries to their best hitter (Riley Greene) and best pitcher (Eduardo Rodriguez), which triggered a slog of nine straight losses. The injuries have continued to pile up and so have the losses, even with a stretch of better baseball.
They fell to 8-17 in the month (34-45 on the season) Wednesday, taking a 10-2 drubbing from the American League West-leading Texas Rangers at Globe Life Field.
