Tigers lose 104th game, move closer to first overall pick

DETROIT (AP) — Edwin Jackson allowed five runs in five innings, and the Detroit Tigers took control of the race for the top pick in next June’s amateur draft with an 8-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday.
Detroit (44-104) has lost two of the first three games of the four-game series against the Orioles (49-100), opening a 4½-game advantage for the worst record in the major leagues. Any combination of 10 Tigers losses and Orioles wins would clinch the top pick for Detroit
