The dark cloud over the Detroit Tigers continued to linger on Friday night when they dropped their series-opener on the road against the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-1, in a matchup of Tylers that the Tigers fell short in. Two early home runs by L.A. doomed Detroit as the bats remained cold, producing a lonely third-inning score but failing to do any further damage in its fourth-straight road loss and sixth-straight overall. That 13-0 drubbing of the Colorado Rockies, in which Miguel Cabrera reached his historical hit milestone, seems so far away now.
