Detroit — They don't stop. They don't give in.

The Tigers looked dead in the water a couple of times Tuesday night, trailing 5-1 early and then 8-3 in the sixth inning.

Chris McCosky, The Detroit NewsMarch 12, 2018 GMT

Lakeland, Fla. — Nothing fires up the fan base more than a good debate about the Tigers' batting order.
