Will deadline trade give Tigers' Mike Fiers another shot at playoffs?

DETROIT -- Mike Fiers has a World Series ring for his part in the Houston Astros' 2017 championship season even though he never threw a pitch in the postseason last year.

He might get another chance in 2018.

Fiers pitched 6 1/3 scoreless innings on Saturday night against the best team in baseball. The Boston Red Sox just happen to be one of the teams who might be interested in acquiring him in the nine days remaining before the July 31 trade deadline.

Fiers, 33, is pitching well at the right time.
