Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

The Tigers' bullpen surrendered seven earned runs in 12 2/3 innings against Boston. The Red Sox allowed just one earned run over 21 innings, and in a series where four of the six games were decided by one run, that proved to be the biggest difference.

Detroit's starters posted a sparkling 2.06 ERA during the ALCS, but as hard as it might be to believe, the club didn't receive a win from either Scherzer or Verlander -- two of the best pitchers in the game. A lack of offense certainly comes into play, but it doesn't change the fact that the Tigers would be headed to the World Series without blowing the lead in Games 2 and 6.
