On Sunday, manager Brad Ausmus' game plan was to pitch carefully to Houston Astros' Jose Altuve when the game was on the line in the ninth inning. Alex Wilson appeared to challenge the hitter instead, causing the Tigers to lose and an uproar in the fandom for this "miscommunication" ensued. A few days later, Wilson clears it up, telling Tony Paul of the Detroit News that they were actually "on the same page" and it was simply a poorly executed pitch.
With two outs in a 5-5 tie in the ninth inning, Jake Marisnick tripled against Tigers' Tom Gorzelanny.
