Game 34: Knuckled Under

The Gist: The Tigers couldn’t hit Tim Wakefield, though it wasn’t for a lack of trying. The lack of plate discipline arrived just in time to send the Tigers to a 5-0 loss to the Red Sox. That’s five in a row, if you’re counting. And my man, Tigers starter Nate Robertson? Oof.

The Quote: “I think the main thing is to not lose sight of how good we are.” — Jim Leyland

The Stat: 2. The pathetic number of hits the Tigers mustered against Wakefield.
