The Tigers had a brutal day on Thursday, as they lost both games of a doubleheader at home against the Angels. 

The day started with Shohei Ohtani throwing the first complete game shutout of his MLB career and basically ended with Ohtani hitting two home runs in the second game. 

Things were pretty bleak for the Tigers, who capped off the second loss with a baserunning blunder that left fans in utter disbelief. 

Catcher Jake Rogers slid in safely to third but then oddly took his foot off the bag while getting up and was quickly tagged out to end the eighth inning.
