They just couldn’t get it going against Jared Weaver. Ordonez had the only hot hand, but The Tigers just couldn’t string anything together, and looked flat all game. Verlander had his good stuff today, but got rocked in the 6th inning. It defies logic, really. Detroit had their actual starting line-up in for the first [...]
