## Resource

The Detroit Tigers are clinging to a fading playoff dream as September hits, with less than 1% chance of making the postseason — a stark contrast to last year’s wild-card miracle. After losing 14 of 17 games, they finally broke through with an 11-6 win over Minnesota, powered by Spencer Torkelson’s homer and Javier Báez’s clutch double. Offense has been sluggish, scoring just nine runs in six home games, but the return of injured outfielder Riley Greene — who went 2-for-4 in the win — could reignite the lineup. Young star Max Clark also shined with three doubles and a home run during their homestand. With 23 games left and six behind the final wild card spot, the Tigers need a near-perfect finish plus major help from other teams — and even then, it might not be enough against a stacked schedule and high playoff bar.
