Detroit Tigers starting pitchers not named Justin Verlander or Michael Fulmer continue to struggle through a miserable August, and every other summer month.
Shit can aka Matt Boyd allowed a record-setting home run to Gary Sanchez in the first inning and couldn't make it out of third inning, giving up seven runs on seven hits. He walked three and struck out two.
Since Aug. 4, Verlander is 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA, and opponents are hitting just .165 against him
The rest of the Tigers' starting pitchers are 0-10 with a 9.50 ERA (63 earned runs in 59 2/3 innings). Opponents are hitting .355 (91-for-256) against them.
Here?s the rundown:
Aug. 6, Sanchez ? down 8-0 after four innings.
Aug. 8, Boyd ? down 6-0 after five.
Aug. 10, VerHagen ? down 6-0 after four.
Aug. 11 ? Sanchez ? down 5-1 after 4.5.
Aug. 13 ? Boyd ? down 4-0 after three.
Aug. 14 ? Michael Fulmer ? down 5-2 after four.
Aug. 18 ? Jordan Zimmermann ? down 6-3 after four.
Aug. 22 ? Boyd ? down seven after three.
This was the 10th time this season a Tigers starting pitcher has failed to survive the third inning. That?s the seventh-most in baseball.
NOTABLE
Tigers third baseman Nicholas Castellanos hit his 17th home run of the year and first since Aug. 6 in the seventh inning. He added an inside-the-park home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning when the ball rolled to the fence following a diving miss in center field by Jacoby Ellsbury.
Yankees rookie phenom Aaron Judge snapped a 37-game strikeout streak on Tuesday. He walked on his first three plate appearance, all of which went to 3-2 counts, and then hit an RBI single in the fifth inning. He was removed for a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning with the Yankees up 11-1.
It was the eighth time since August 6 they were forced to play out of a deep valley. It was the third time in that stretch that left-hander Matthew Boyd put them there.
After registering three quality starts in a row, Boyd has now allowed 19 earned runs on 27 hits in his last four starts (16 1/3 innings).
And in his last three starts, he?s been tagged for 16 runs in 12 innings.
He?s on the verge of pitching himself out of the Tigers? rotation.
In relief of Boyd, righty Warwick Saupold allowed two runs on four hits in 21/3 innings, and righty Drew VerHagen allowed two runs on three hits in 21/3 innings. Joe Jimenez pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jeff Ferrell a scoreless ninth.
With the loss, the Tigers fall to 54-70.
The Tigers managed just three hits in the first six innings off Tanaka, who was making his first start since going on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation.
Nick Castellanos hit his 17th home run, a two-run shot in the seventh.
Castellanos hit No. 18 in the ninth. It was his the first inside-the-park homer of his career. Center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury made a sliding attempt to stop Castellanos' sinking liner. It got past him and rolled all the way to the wall.

Boxscore.
ROARS:
Nick Castellanos had pretty much the only highlight of the game. He hit an inside-the-park home run:
Castellanos had a 15.78 second dash around bases on inside-the-park HR, according to statcast.
HISSES:
The entire team except Castellanos.

Apparently Judge had struck out at least once in a record 37 straight games.. Not against us though, stupid pitchers.
Now 30-31 @ CoPa, a losing home record is proof of a crappy team this late in the season, with only a few players , mostly positional, pulling their weight. Hard to believe now that this ballclub boasted one of the best starting rotos during most of their recent 4 contending seasons. But their BPs and bench were pretty lame overall, and some of their stars on offense disappeared partly or entirely during the postseason. Had the Tigers made it to the WS each postseason, it would have been vs the Cards or Giants every time...so perhaps they fortunately dodged even more WS embarrassment and humiliation.
