The Tigers finished in fourth place in the American League East with a record of 60–84 (.417).
Despite their inconsistencies, the surprising Tigers found themselves just three games out of first place after beating Kansas City, 4–2 on July 9.
However, when play resumed after the All-Star break, the Tigers went into free-fall, winning only 23 of their last 74 games.
The Tigers set a new major league record for most home runs by a losing team when they hit seven homers in a 14–12 defeat to the Chicago White Sox on May 28.
