The Royals and Tigers can win their Wild Card series today.
The Tigers nearly blew a three-run ninth-inning lead but held on when former Cub Jason Heyward hit a line drive directly at Spencer Torkelson with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth.
The Royals managed just a single run on a sixth-inning RBI single by Bobby Witt Jr., but it was enough for a 1-0 win in Baltimore.
Here are the details for Game 2 of the Wild Card series for the American League. The Tigers have promised “chaos” with their pitching, which ought to be interesting.
Enjoy the games and discuss amongst yourselves.
