The ninth inning of the Twins-Royals game was a ball buster for the Tigers and they were force to sit & watch their possible division crown go down the drain.

Royals load the bases with no outs, 4th batter up swings on the first pitch into a short infield pop-up. Next batter grounds into a double play to end the inning. Instead of some insurance runs for a victory and to keep the Tigs in 1st place, the royals get zilch, Bottom of the ninth, first two batters out with ease. next up is Mr. Clutch, Joe Mauer who after two pitches slams one over the wall to tie the game. Even here in California I could here a loud SH,,,,,t coming from the fans in the City of Detroit
We all know the results, Twins win in the 10th and now are tied with the Tigs and smelling the finish line....

Tigers lose 9-7 in extra innings against the Royals. They practically gave the game away. The Twins lost 4-3 to the White Sox. No damage done.

Twins got a 3 run blast in the 9th but lost 6-3.

A Tigers victory tonight and it is all over.

Magic Number is 1 despite last nights choke job.

The Tigers need to start to take advantage of the Twins losing, and tonight is the perfect night to wrap it all up. The Tigers have been in the division lead for a long time and it would be a blow if they lost it. The Tigers have to get it going early tonight, score 11 runs in the first inning like they did to the Royals last series.

The Tigers and Twins are remained deadlocked, both losing today. The tigers lost 9-6, in which Miner pitched a miserable game. He didn't even last one inning! It all comes down to tomorrow, so get ready and hope for a first place.

KC had 4 runs before Miner got his only out. I'm kinda scratchin my head as to why Leyland started him in the first place...we get a day or two off before the playoffs start AND Miner hadn't started a game since Aug 23.

The Tiger pitchers gave up 33 runs and 66 hits in the last four losses/games. I guess they are ready for the playoffs.

Looks like the say wanted their fans to sweat this one to the last inning of the season.

Only a masterful pitching performance from both the starter and the bullpen can salvage the division crown and their hold on first .

They have gotten sum runs and could have won all four games but untimely hitting (especially by Pudge) has left several runners stranded and out them in the winner take all predicament with the Twins. The Sox have stood up these past couple of games, maybe they should be the team going to the post season instead of Tigs and Twinkies

Wow, what a finish to the regular season. Down to extra innings in the last game of the season to decided it.
