The Detroit Tigers couldn’t plate a single run during Saturday night’s ALDS Game 2 in Oakland, but, looking on the bright side a little bit, neither team has hit particularly well in the series. Both teams have scored just three total runs as pitching has dominated both games. The Tigers will send out their third ace-like starting pitcher in Anibal Sanchez, but the story will be whether or not they can score some runs off of A’s starter Jarrod Parker.
