The Detroit Tigers could not bounce back and ended up getting swept by the Athletics . Tigers manager AJ Hinch did not mince words after the series, calling it “really bad.” He admitted the Tigers did not play well and were outplayed on all fronts .
The Tigers offense struggled badly with runners in scoring position, going just 3-for-26 in the series. As a result, their situational hitting collapsed, and the pitching offered no relief. Meanwhile, Tarik Skubal, Charlie Morton, and Casey Mize each gave up at least five runs. On top of that, the Tigers defense faltered, committing two errors in every game.
