There has been a lot of talk about how bad Detroit's bullpen has been this season, but the Tigers haven't excelled at the plate either.
The Tigers have lost four games in which they led in the ninth inning. Detroit is 2-7 in extra-inning games.
The bullpen hasn't been great in extra innings, allowing 11 runs in 21 innings for a 4.71 ERA, but the hitters have been even worse -- they've scored just five runs while hitting .198.
