Holy ****, did Ort really just throw a sweeper a foot off the plate on 3-2 for the game? Did he think every Tigers hitter is Javy Baez? Sorry, pal, only got one of those. But-bye.

Dan and Andy call of the walkoff walk!

Petry really likes the visual of Gleyber spitting all over it

[Sports_Freak]

Whew...now we'll have the tiebreaker against Houston. So do we let them win tomorrow to help them win the division against Seattle,  who we lose the tiebreaker to?

[papalawrence]

Fun game to watch!

[IdahoBert]

[RandyMarsh]

Big win, 4 games up in the loss column now on Houston for one of the byes. 

[Sports_Freak]

Cardio done for today. I guess Vest is good in the 9th and beyond?

[gehringer_2]

28 scoreless for the Astros.

They've been shut out 4 of their past 5 games.

What a humiliating way to lose game. Ha!

[Motor City Sonics]

Wow,  Did the Astros sign Daniel Schlereth ?

I hope they get hot after tomorrow. They need to win that division.

It’s a beautiful thing.

The tariffs on trash cans are really taking a toll on the citizens of Houston

[IdahoBert]

Winning this way is almost more fun than a homer just because of the sheer, senseless serendipity of it. 

[lordstanley]

The Tigers have won 9 of 12, and 15 of their past 22, and are now over .500 since the All Star Break at 16-15.

[GalagaGuy]

That was certainly a choice for a 3-2 pitch.   

[Sports_Freak]

Skubal is fine...

 

[chasfh]

Tigers still with the best record in the league, 8-2 in their last ten, 15-7 since the horrific swoon.

i think we’re back on the horse. 

[Dan Gilmore]

As @gehringer_2 pointed out, the Tigers pushed Brown’s pitch count up, so he lasted six innings. Then the used their three best relievers for 7/8/9. We got seven from Skubal, and then our two best relievers.

If they close out the season at .586 that would be 94 or 95 wins.  That's probably a soild #2 seed. 97 probably gets them the #1 seed.

No. Win all the games.
