In a pivotal game, the Detroit Tigers secured a playoff spot for the first time in ten years with a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox, who set a modern record for losses in a season. Riley Greene's RBI double and two runs scored on wild pitches highlighted Detroit's late-season surge.

The Tigers will face either the Houston Astros or Baltimore Orioles in the upcoming Wild Card Series, riding a wave of momentum with six consecutive wins.
