There are quiet nights during the MLB season, and then there are quiet nights like July 27th. Just four games were scheduled and a fifth only happened because the Angels and Tigers were rained out on Wednesday. Of the league’s 30 teams, 22 were off.
Nonetheless, three of the five games still had at least some ripple effect on the American League playoff picture. We won’t go deep on them because there really wasn’t a lot to discuss, but we’ll do a quick rundown anyway!
Los Angeles Angels (53-49) 6, Detroit Tigers (46-56) 0 [Game 1]
I suppose the “there really wasn’t a lot to discuss” note more applies to the nature of what this website is about.
