The Tigers dropped another one to the Chicago White Sox tonight, and the loss makes tomorrow’s game vs. the White Sox a must-win scenario, as the Twins have continued to apply pressure, winning twice vs. the Royals, and are now tied with the Tigers for AL Central lead with one game to go. SBN’s Bless You Boys has more from the Detroit perspective:
Tigers Falter, Sunday Becomes a Must-Win
Words fail to recap this game. What can really be said?
Actually, I think the fans at Comerica Park said it quite well as the home team left the field tonight.
The Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins are now tied for first place in the AL Central. It really is now “do or die.” If the Tigers don’t win tomorrow, their season is more than likely over. At best, that would probably force a one-game tiebreaker on Tuesday. But does anyone in Tiger Town really want to count on the Twins losing?
It’s all on Justin Verlander’s right shoulder tomorrow. He’s carried this team all season, so why should his last regular season start be any different.
