Tigers Magic Number: Playoff path much clearer after late-night gift from Astros

Related Topics: Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros

The Detroit Tigers fell just short against the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. The Tigers watched their 3-1 lead disappear after the Red Sox scored one run in each of the seventh and eighth innings, and then walked it off in the ninth courtesy of an RBI triple off the bat of Ceddane Rafaela.

For what feels like the umpteenth time during the month of September, Detroit failed secure a much-needed win and still haven't locked up their spot in the MLB Postseason. Nevertheless, the Tigers are still very much alive for a playoff berth with FanGraphs giving Detroit a 90.
