Detroit — The Giants in 2012. The Orioles in 2014. And now the Indians.
Every two years, an opposing team throws a party on the Comerica Park lawn.
The Indians clinched their first Central Division title since 2007 Monday night, beating the Tigers 7-4.
“I don’t like it,” manager Brad Ausmus said. “But it doesn’t change anything. We still have a goal and that’s to get to the postseason.”
With six games left, the Tigers are two games behind the Orioles for the second wild-card spot. The task is becoming increasingly difficult.
“I love when people want to talk about odds,” Ausmus said.
