The Tigers fell to the Nationals 6-4 in the rubbermatch from DC on Sunday afternoon. In what is becoming an unfortunate theme, at no point in his start was Joey Wentz able to get consistent outs.

After racing out to an eight-run lead last night and then letting the Nationals cut the deficit to two runs before hanging on for a high-stress win late, the Detroit Tigers looked to take their bats to Patrick Corbin in this one.

I know there’s no such thing as a “safe” lead in baseball, but in the sixth inning of this game the Tigers sure seemed to have things stacked in their favor. Matt Boyd was throwing a no-hitter, the Tigers were up by eight runs, and for a moment it felt like losing was impossible. Friends,
