Here are 15 Walk-Off Thoughts after the Indians’ 11-4 win against the Detroit Tigers Friday night.
1. All 162 games count the same, the only difference is that in September, the stakes are clearer and right in front of every team. In this sense, Friday night’s win was a big one. It extended the Indians’ lead in the American League Central to seven games and dropped their magic number to nine with 15 games remaining.
2. In that sense, the Indians put some serious pressure on the Tigers. In all likelihood, the Tigers probably need to win most or perhaps all of the remaining six games between the two clubs this season.
