The Detroit Tigers just keep winning.
Through Monday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, where clubhouse leader Cameron Maybin was shipped to the Chicago Cubs for an infield prospect. Through a boycotted game to protest racial inequality. And though an abnormal 60-game season.
General manager Al Avila kept all but one member of his 28-man roster through the trade deadline, and they made a statement Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers, securing a 12-1 victory at Miller Park.
With the Toronto Blue Jays' loss, the Tigers (17-16) — winners of six in a row — are now a half-game back of the AL's eighth and final spot in the playoffs with 27 games remaining.
