The Tigers’ winning ways at Comerica Park was short-lived. After snapping a 10-game home losing streak in Tuesday’s 9-6 win over Tampa Bay, the Tigers’ offense disappeared again, resulting in Wednesday night’s 4-0 loss to the Rays . Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull (3-5) was decent in the loss, throwing five innings and allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks. He threw 92 pitches and struck out four. The Tigers (23-35) had no answer against Rays starter Charlie Morton (7-0, 2.30 ERA), who allowed five hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out eight. The Rays took a 1-0 lead on Austin Meadows’ triple in the third inning — he scored on a throwing error by Tigers second baseman Harold Castro on the cut-off throw to third. The Rays (36-23) added a pair of runs in the fifth, getting RBI hits from former Tiger Avisail Garcia and Ji-Man Choi. The Rays then used another Tigers throwing error to score again in the eighth, making it 4-0. The two teams finish their three-game series at 1:10 p.m. Thursday. Daniel Norris (2-4,4.58) will start for the Tigers. Although it wasn’t Turnbull’s best outing this season, he kept the game within reach against a good-hitting Rays team. His ERA rose slightly from 2.84 to 3.01, keeping him among the rookie ERA leaders. Turnbull worked a perfect first inning and a quick second. After the Rays scored once in the third, Turnbull got out of a bases-loaded jam, inducing a groundout by Willy Adames. After allowing the two-run fifth inning, Turnbull was replaced by Nick Ramirez to start the sixth. The Tigers did Turnbull no favors in the field, either. Along with Castro’s throwing miscue in the third, JaCoby Jones misplayed a ball in center in the fifth, allowing Garcia to score on Choi’s hit. In the seventh, Tigers reliever Blaine Hardy appeared to have a runner picked off at first, but Brandon Dixon’s throw to second sailed into center field. In the eighth, Castro air-mailed a potential double-play throw to first, allowing the fourth run to score. Jones continues to hit, extending his career-long hit streak to 11 games. With one out in the third, Jones singled up the middle against Morton. In 32 games since the beginning of May, Jones is hitting .290 with 12 extra-base hits, including five home runs.
