The Tigers lost, 6-1, to the Blue Jays in the third of four games in the series at Comerica Park — their 12th loss in 13 games.

In the series opener on Monday, July 28, Chris Bassitt will take the hill for the Toronto Blue Jays (63-43) as they square off against the Baltimore Orioles (47-58), who will answer with Zach Eflin.

There’s depth in the lower tiers of the relief market this year, too, with several set-up men and middle relievers rattling off top seasons.

The Detroit Tigers are historically bad. At least, they have been over the past 13 games entering Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park. They are 1-12 from July 9-26, free-falling from the best record in MLB to eighth-best in a span of just more than two weeks.

The AL Central crown remains under the watchful eyes of the Detroit Tigers, who hold an eight-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians.
