Tigers win again in KC to stay 1.5 games behind MIN for final wild-card spot, and now sit only 3 games back of the Royals with 10 games left. (Both those teams own the tiebreaker over DET.) Skubal on the mound tomorrow.

Some #Tigers truth: They’re a fun team, and decent. Not great. But it doesn’t take greatness to do something special (2006 Cardinals). They’re ahead of schedule because AJ Hinch decided to play chess with the rotation, and it’s been checkmate on a loop. Managers, in fact, matter.

The Detroit Tigers were 55-63 at the end of play on August 10. They are now 80-73 and a half-game out of a playoff spot. The only MLB team ever to make the playoffs in a non-shortened season after being 8+ games under .500 in August or later was the Mets in 1973.
