The Detroit Tigers are historically bad. At least, they have been over the past 13 games entering Sunday's series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.

Gleyber Torres hit a three-run homer off ex-Tiger Max Scherzer and the Tigers beat the Blue Jays, 10-4, to snap a 6-game skid.

Throughout their losing skid, the Tigers have made MLB history in multiple categories. In the last 13 games, the Tigers are the only team in the modern era to be outscored and outhit by 50 or more. Detroit is also the only MLB team in the modern era to have fewer than 25 extra base hits and to strike out 125 or more times in a 13-game span.

With the Detroit Tigers reeling after a rough stretch of games, dropping 12 of their last 13, including six straight, the roster needs some help. Fortunately, ahead of the series finale against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Tigers got some help.

Scherzer, who turns 41 on Sunday, pitched for the Tigers from 2010-2014, going 82-35 with a 3.52 ERA as part of a famously elite rotation. During Scherzer’s tenure, the Tigers made the playoffs four times, including an American League title in 2012.
