The Tigers had better be prepared to start hitting again and win at least three of these four games against the lowly Chicago White Sox. Actually, I’d like them to go all Lawrence of Arabia on them and win all four.
But they ended up winning in a ninth thinning walk off, so the Twins have lost two games in a row. And even with most of the Central teams getting beat up lately, the AL Central is the only division in baseball to have five teams at .500 or over
This is a unspectacular win, but winning these kinds of close unspectacular games instead of losing them is the difference between being a playoff team and leaning against the wall at the prom and watching everybody else dance.
It was so nice to have no drama just now. I’ve had enough tight game drama and winning this series on the road against another team in the Central that is not a team to be dismissed is a big deal.
