It was a rough weekend for the AL East 2nd place Detroit Tigers. Detroit headed into New York for a 4 game series against the 1st place Yankees, hoping to gain some ground. Instead, the Tigers were swept by the Yankees and now find themselves 8 games behind the front runners. While all 4 games were close contests, the Tiger's weak hitting proved to be their undoing. Over in the AL West, the Oakland A's have a comfortable 6 game lead over the Minnesota Twins.
