MLB
The Tigers clinched a playoff berth with a tight 2-1 victory over the Red Sox Saturday. Jahmai Jones singled home both Detroit runs in the fifth inning. Keider Montero pitched into the fifth, allowing one run on five hits. Four relievers allowed Boston just two more hits over the duration.
The Guardians also clinched a post-season berth, defeating the Rangers 3-2 when Texas pitcher Robert Garcia hit Cleveland batter C.J. Kayfus with a pitch with the score tied and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth to send home the winning run.
Detroit and Cleveland remain tied atop the American League Central Division, heading into today’s final game of the regular season. The Guardians own the tiebreaker, having taken the season series from the Tigers. If both teams win, or both teams lose, Cleveland claims the title. A loss by Cleveland and a win by Detroit would give the Tigers the crown.
