Overview

  • Detroit won 11-1 in the Bronx, following Tuesday’s 12-run outburst to take the first two games.
  • The Tigers improved to 84-62 to move past Toronto (83-62) for the American League’s best record and top postseason seed.
  • Gleyber Torres delivered a go-ahead two-run single in the fifth and finished with three RBIs against his former team.
  • Jack Flaherty worked five scoreless innings with two hits and seven strikeouts before the offense broke it open late.
