First place. On May 16?
Raise your hand if you saw that coming. Didn't think so.
But the Tigers actually can move into a tie atop the American League Central with a victory Wednesday afternoon over the Indians at Comerica Park (1:10, FSD/97.1). The Tigers lost 11 in a row to the Indians dating to last season, but snapped that skid Monday, and won again in incredible comeback fashion Tuesday. They go for the sweep Wednesday.
Obviously, you can't get carried away about first place on May 16, though if it happens, it would match the latest the Tigers have been since the start of the 2015 season.
