We haven’t felt this in a long time, and neither has a young Tigers team. Every game feels like a must-win, and that’s pretty close to the literal truth as we turn into the second half of September. The cats were up to the task on Sunday as Riley Greene homered twice to lead the Tigers to a 4-2 victory and a series win over the Baltimore Orioles.
The Tigers came into this game desperately needing a victory to keep their slim wild card hopes alive. Of course, everyone in the picture, including the Orioles, feels that way in mid-September.
