The Tigers’ season-long losing streak hit six games Saturday night, beaten for the second straight night by the Texas Rangers, 4-1.

Keider Montero got the start for the Tigers, his first since July 7th (he did a bad spot of relief on July 12th). His previous start was a 6 inning, 1 run success against the Rays. The Rangers couldn’t do anything in the first, grounding out twice and ending with a Marcus Semien swinging strikeout on a nasty pitch.

The Rangers broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the eighth inning and handed the Tigers their season-high fifth straight loss.

Kumar Rocker took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and Rowdy Tellez hit a three-run home run in his second game with the Rangers as Texas beat the slumping Detroit Tigers 4-1.
