Tigers’ way to the playoffs grew particularly exciting as the team tried to end a collapse at the end of the season.
“A kind of crazy trip, but it’s worth it,” manager AJ told Hinch to Tigers players on Saturday. “We went up. We went down. We went up again.”
In July, Tigers held a 14-match lead in the division. In early September, their lead dropped to 9½ games – but then a free fall in the position arose.
Detroit fell 12 out of 14 games, which forced them to a tie with Guardians. If all central race ends in a draw, Cleveland has tiebreaker advantage.
