Overview
- First pitch is 7:10 p.m. ET at Fenway Park, and the broadcast is exclusive to Apple TV+ with a 7‑day free trial available.
- Boston’s magic number is one, so a win over Detroit or a Houston loss clinches a postseason berth.
- Detroit is tied atop the AL Central but loses the head‑to‑head tiebreaker to Cleveland, and it holds a one‑game edge over Houston for the final AL wild card.
- Probable starters are Casey Mize for the Tigers (14–6, 3.91 ERA) and Kyle Harrison for the Red Sox (1–1, 3.58).
- Apple TV+ lists Wayne Randazzo on play‑by‑play with analyst Dontrelle Willis and field reporter Heidi Watney; published lineups include Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene for Detroit and Jarren Duran, Trevor Story, and Alex Bregman for Boston.
