The Detroit Tigers needed a win and some help to keep their post-season chances alive yesterday. They got neither. Baltimore and Toronto both won, and locked up the two American League wild card playoff berths. The Tigers collected just five hits in a 1-0 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Justin Verlander gave up a run in the first inning, then pitched shutout ball through the seventh. He struck out eight, but Atlanta’s Julio Teheran struck out 12 to earn the win. Because the Tigers were eliminated from contention, today’s scheduled make-up game against the Cleveland Indians has been canceled.
