Detroit nearly missed the playoffs after leading the AL Central for nearly the whole season. The Tigers led the division by 14 games in July, and were 9.5 games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians on Sept. 11. But then Detroit lost 12 of 14 games, with Cleveland erasing a 15.5-game lead when it was in fourth place for the division in July. Detroit and Cleveland are now tied with the same 87-74 record with the Guardians also clinching a playoff position. Detroit’s division hopes are still alive with a win and Cleveland loss on Sunday. Cleveland holds the tiebreaker winning the season series 8-5.

The Red Sox scored the first run of the game on Saturday, on an RBI single in the second inning. But Boston couldn’t score again, and Detroit got the go-ahead run in the fifth on a two-run single from DH Jahmai Jones. Detroit will go for the series win by starting Chris Paddack, who is 5-11 with a 5.27 ERA. Boston has yet to announce a starter in the final game of the season.
