It's a testament to the quality of the front end of their rotation that they even have 9 wins in these types of games. Thanks for the read and for the stats!

Their record in those contests is 9-27." As dire as this sounds--and they are now 9-28--this is actually a plus. The Tigers right now are best in their division in games where they score 3 or fewer, and even though they are on the high end in number of 3 or fewer games, because of their higher win % they have lost fewer of these games than anyone in the central. Games scoring 3 or fewer runs: DET 9-28 .243 KCR 9-33 .214 MIN 7-29 .194 CHW 4-29 .121 CLE 2-30 .063 My sympathies to Indian fans... “It is now 36 times in 81 games that this team has scored three runs or fewer in a game.
