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 from wild pitches highlighted the Tigers' late-season surge.

With six straight wins, the Tigers are poised for a Wild Card Series against either the Baltimore Orioles or the Houston Astros. Meanwhile, the White Sox's struggles culminated in a disappointing record of 121 losses, surpassing the previous modern mark.
