Pat Caputo: Jose Valverde's 60-Pitch Night Not Exactly A Feather In Jim Leyland's Cap
The turning point of the Tigers' season is crystal clear.
They entered the All-Star break in second place in the American League Central, just a half game behind the Chicago White Sox. Three weeks later, the Tigers are seven games back following Sunday's 4-3, close-but-no-cigar loss at Boston.
Overall, the Tigers have lost 15 of their last 19 games (14-of-18 since the break; they also dropped their final game before the break).
Making matters worse, the Twins have won eight straight games. They have flown past the Tigers and are only a half-game behind the White Sox.
