MINNEAPOLIS – The Detroit Tigers’ season ended on Sunday afternoon. They lost to the Twins, 5-1, at Target Field. They finished the 2017 season 64-98, in last place in the American League Central division.
With the loss, they secured the No. 1 pick in next season’s MLB draft since the Tigers had a worse record than the Giants in 2016.
It was as uneventful as regular season finales without any implications were. Making what likely was his final start with the Tigers, right-hander Anibal Sanchez allowed three runs over five innings.
