Boyd and the bullpen blew dead goats today,
Tigers scored 9 runs while going 2 for 12 with RISP.

They'll be eliminated from a play-in shot with a loss on the final day of the regular season.

Victor Martinez: He?s been struggling lately, but he stepped up in a big way with a grand slam in the third inning.
Cameron Maybin: Had his second straight three-hit day and this time he included a triple. His thumb may not be 100 percent, but it doesn?t appear to matter since he?s been red-hot for much of September.
Top of the offensive order: Hitters 1-5 were 11-for-24 with a grand slam, a triple, three walks, and a double.
Jordan Zimmermann: Three stellar innings of one-run ball on four hits. He struck out four batters and looked crisp, a refreshing change from his frustrating season.
Andrew Romine: For no other reason than this: why in the world would you bunt with the bases loaded?
The pitching staff: Excepting Zimmermann, they gave up 11 runs. Four home runs. As K-Rod would put it: unacceptable.
STATS AND REACTIONS:
Maybin is batting .375/.426/.607 in his last 15 games. Included in that are three triples, two doubles, and a home run. He has seven RBI and 13 runs scored.
Maybin didn?t just have back-to-back three-hit days. He packed in a four-hit day that included a triple. It was his first four-bagger since Aug. 21, 2012 against the Pirates. It?s the ninth time he?s had one in his career.
In a not-so-sad moment of the game, Jose Iglesias pinch hit for Romine in the ninth and promptly hit a ground-rule double. The funny part was, he thought it was a homer and twirled his finger to indicate as such ? even though it was clear the ball never left the field.
While Maybin saw the ball well all afternoon, it was Wade Davis and he was in the wrong. Maybin struck out looking in the ninth and took umbrage with the call. That continued into the dugout, when he kept chirping at home plate umpire Dan Iassogna. Finally, Iassogna had enough and tossed Maybin with Cabrera at the plate in the most crucial moment of the game.
Maybin was so fired up, that Ausmus had to block him from attempting to come up the dugout steps and onto the field.
Romine has had this slick black matte Victus bat just chillin? in his locker. On Saturday, Casey McGehee noticed it and proclaimed that Romine absolutely had to use it. Besides, he?d been 0-for-5 in the two games prior, so what?s to lose. Anyway, Romine used it, and went 0-for-5 on Saturday. He was hitless on Sunday with the stupid failed bases-loaded bunt.

They need to? Probably but no need..
Both Lions and Tigers came up short in making comebacks after spotting their opponents big leads...no joy in Motown today.
Cleveland's teams also lost, the Browns are 0-3 and the Indians lost 3-0. They will likely clinch the ALCD title in Detroit, during their 4 game series, needing to win only one game.

Andrew Romine said bases-loaded bunt Sunday was on his own, based on Cuthbert playing back at 3B. He wanted to put bunt down 3B line.
I recall thinking before lettuce did that Bunt they'll never see it coming! I don't fault him for trying, he just didn't execute and it might have been nice if JD would have known it was coming although it probably wouldn't have made much difference given the placement.
