DETROIT -- The All-Star Break is still a week away, but the Detroit Tigers reached the official halfway point of the 162-game season after Sunday's game.

The midseason appraisal isn't pretty.

The Tigers are 36-45, their worst record at the 81-game mark since 2003, when they fielded one of the worst teams in baseball history.

The good news is that this year's Tigers are unlikely to finish 43-119. The bad news is that their playoff hopes have largely (although not completely) evaporated.

The Tigers are off Monday before starting a three-game series on Tuesday afternoon against the San Francisco Giants. They play a weekend series at Cleveland before taking a break for All-Star week.
