The Detroit Tigers have clinched a spot in the MLB postseason for the second year in a row, following their 2-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the team, showcasing their growth and determination.
The Tigers are now on the cusp of claiming the American League Central division title. If the Cleveland Guardians lose either of their upcoming games on Saturday night or Sunday afternoon, the Tigers can secure the division title with a win on Sunday. However, if the Guardians lose both games, the Tigers will claim the division title regardless of their final game outcome against the Red Sox. The Guardians currently hold the tiebreaker advantage.
The Tigers and Guardians are currently tied for first place in the AL Central, with the Guardians holding the tiebreaker edge due to their head-to-head season series win. The Tigers would face the Guardians in a Wild Card series if they don't secure the division title. Other teams that have clinched postseason spots include the Toronto Blue Jays, Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Boston Red Sox.
The Detroit Tigers trailed 1-0 in the second inning but staged a comeback in the fifth, thanks to Jahmai Jones' two-run single. This pivotal hit gave the Tigers a lead they would not relinquish, ultimately winning 2-1 over the Boston Red Sox.

The Tigers' bullpen delivered a strong performance, combining for 4.2 innings of shutout baseball. Relief pitcher Tyler Holton earned his sixth win of the season, while closer Will Vest notched his 23rd save, securing the victory for Detroit.
The Detroit Tigers are poised to finish the season with either an 88-74 or 87-75 record, depending on the outcome of their final game on Sunday. Notably, this would mark only the third time in the past decade that the Tigers have achieved at least 85 wins in a season.

As for the Boston Red Sox, they've already secured a postseason spot and are now vying for the No. 5 seed in the American League. If the Cleveland Guardians lose on Saturday evening, the Red Sox will clinch this position. The Tigers and Guardians are currently tied for first place in the AL Central division with 86 wins each.
A team that stays together is very dangerous.
