Nobody thought the Detroit Tigers would be where they are right now, this late in the season. But here they are, mathematically tied for the final wild card spot with just nine games remaining while sitting seven games over the .500 mark entering the weekend.
AJ Hinch’s squad really needed a sweep of the Kansas City Royals this week and did their part, while the Minnesota Twins continue to struggle. Maybe that rancid sausage has finally run out of mojo... or maybe these Tigers are for real.
Next up is a rematch from last weekend’s series against the Baltimore Orioles, this time inside Camden Yards.
