The A’s only needed one big hit to beat the league-best Detroit Tigers on Tuesday afternoon, using the powerful swing of first baseman Nick Kurtz to beat the Tigers 3-0 to even up the series and set up the rubber match tomorrow morning. Could the second-worst team in the American League actually take the series from the team with the best record in baseball? Anything can happen in this sport and tomorrow’s series finale should be fun. If you can manage to wake up in time.
Detroit’s starting pitcher tonight was right-hander Jack Flaherty.
