MLB
For the first time in a decade, the Detroit Tigers have reached the playoffs. The Bengals clinched an American League wild card playoff berth last night with a 4-1 victory over the White Sox. The opportunistic Tigers scored two runs off Chicago wild pitches. Five Detroit hurlers allowed just three hits.
The win capped a remarkable late run by the Tigers, who have won 31 of their last 42 games. The Royals lost last night, so Detroit currently holds the second of the three American League wild card berths.
The Tigers host the White Sox again today. Detroit has not designated a starter. Sean Burke will pitch for Chicago. Coverage will begin at 12:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
The 121st loss off the summer put the White Sox into the record books with the worst-ever season in baseball’s modern era.
Rhys Hoskins belted a grand slam in the first inning, and the Brewers cruised past the Mets 8-4 last night. Gary Sánchez added a late home run.
The Brewers visit the Mets again tonight. Jared Koenig will pitch against Jose Quintana.
