DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – Detroit has now lost seven of their first nine games of the year coming off a sweep by the Boston Red Sox on Sunday, 4-1. The last time that happened was in Miguel Cabrera’s first season with Detroit 20 years ago. Now, they will look for a third win heading to Toronto.

Manager A.J. Hinch says, “When we come to the ballpark every day, we come with a clear thought that we’re going to win today’s game. We don’t carry a lot of baggage with us. We don’t spend a lot of time talking about what’s happened in the rearview mirror. It’s our reality; that’s why they keep the standings. But we spend a ton of time and focus on what we’re doing that day. That has nothing to do with the previous X amount of games. We just can’t afford to drag that negative … into the day, to be honest.”
