They played like last week's Tigers.
Three errors. Three unearned runs. Ten hits -- to the Tigers' four -- but none when they were really needed.
Edwin Nunez, spelling Derek Jeter in the day game after a night game, threw a ground ball past first in the seventh. His second error of the game. Ordonez and Raburn scored, making it 5-2 Tigers. Brennan Bash added the day's exclamation point with a solo homer in the eighth.
Rick Porcello went seven, allowing eight hits but only two runs.
Even when they were playing like the Bad News Bears, the starting pitching was, with a couple exceptions, good enough to win on most days. The starters carried them to three wins in the four game series; the New York Hateds' only visit to Detroit this season.
