Detroit - One way for the Tigers to stay afloat amid all these injuries they have would be to play sound defense.
That would certainly help the pitching, and make the offense's task a bit easier.

But the Tigers' defense hardly helped the cause Wednesday, a key reason the Boston Red Sox completed the three-game series sweep with a 4-0 victory.
Tigers' starting pitcher Jack Flaherty (0-3) was tagged with the loss, but didn't get help behind him. Flaherty struck out 10 - the first five hitters he faced, and five of the last six - and four runs, only two of which were earned.
The gut-punch was third baseman Colt Keith's error with two out and two on in the fourth inning. Carlos Narvaez's grounder got through Keith, and scored Masataka Yoshida (singled) and Ceddanne Rafaela (walked), giving the Red Sox (16-21) a 4-0 lead.
