Rick Porcello takes the loss and now sports an 0-2 record. The Tigers are in last place in the American League Central with a 3-6 record.

After scoring ten runs yesterday against the Yankees, the Tigers could only scratch out a single run against the O’s, and ended up falling by a 5-1 score. Tiger starter Rick Porcello looked pretty good for the [...]
