http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/schedule/_/name/det/detroit-tigers ?
If my eyes + addition is right, Tigers have lost 19 games scoring 2 or less runs. and have lost 27 games w/ 3 or less runs scored.
and 17 of those losses scoring 3 runs or less are on the road.
that is around 33 percent of the games the Tigers have played and scored 3 or less and lost.

July 1 in Tigers and mlb history:

1911: Ty Cobb, who had an infield single off Earl Hamilton in his last game on June 29th, repeats by beating out another infield hit against the St. Louis lefty. Again Detroit wins, this time 8 - 0.

1936: Detroit collects 25 hits off three White Sox pitchers. Included in the pounding are
4 hit games each from 2B Charlie Gehringer, LF Goose Goslin, and RF Gee Walker who had 7 rbi in 21 - 7 win. Tommy Bridges is the complete game pitcher.

1945 - Away from the game for four years, Hank Greenberg makes a dramatic return in front of an emotional crowd of 47,700 at Briggs Stadium as he homers off Charlie Gassaway in his first game following being released from the Armed Forces. Hammerin Hank's round-tripper helps the first-place Tigers beat the A's 9 - 5.

1970: The return of Denny McLain following his suspension is witnessed by a gathering of 53,863 fans and 71 writers. He is knocked out of the box in the 6th inning, but the Tigers rally to beat the Yankees in the 11th 6 - 5.

1973 - Mickey Lolich hurls his 35th shutout for Detroit, breaking the franchise record previously held by George Mullin. Lolich twirls a masterful four-hitter in blanking the Baltimore Orioles, 1-0 at Tiger Stadium in a game that takes less than two hours to complete.

1997 - at Tiger Stadium: During the course of two games, June 30 and today, against the New York Mets, Bobby Higginson hits home runs in four consecutive official at-bats tying a big-league mark.

Inside the Detroit Tigers: Miguel Cabrera hitting .486 in past nine games; Jhonny Peralta cools off at plate.
from Mlive

Analysis is Simple: If the Tigers hit the ball more consistently, many of their other issues will seemingly disappear. The Tigers need to figure out a way to close the gap between how their offense performs at home and on the road as well as from the early to the late innings.
