Need the Sox to win tonight, almost all over if the Jays win
 
Ezequiel Carrera sac fly makes it 4-3 Jays. Fitting an ex Tiger could beat us here at the end!
 
Justin Upton: Homered in the seventh to make it a one-run game at the time.

Ian Kinsler: Had just one hit and a walk, but his knock drove in a run on a double in the third.

Tigers offense: Just 5 hits but had the bases loaded and a couple of other scoring opportunities. They also had nothing against a struggling starter and struck out 10 times against Blair, who set a new career high because of their lack of efforts.

Bullpen: Kyle Ryan and Justin Wilson escape criticism in this because they didn’t allow a run,
but Alex Wilson and Shane Greene struggled mightily. They gave up a combined 3 runs on 4 hits in 2 1⁄3 innings.

J.D. Martinez: He gets his own hiss, because he struck out 3 times and grounded into the eighth-inning bases-loaded inning-ending double play. That’s about as awful of a night as one can have.

STATS AND REACTIONS:
Justin Upton's home run in the seventh was his 31st of the season, tying a career high, which he set back in 2011 when he was with the Diamondbacks.

Shane Greene has been a shell of his former self, having fallen off the edge of serviceability. Since he gave up a three-spot on Aug. 17 — the first time he'd done so since June 17 — he's put up an egregious 9.17 ERA with just 18 strikeouts in 16 games pitched entering Saturday's game. Opposing batters are hitting .329 off of him in that time, and reaching at an alarming .390 percentage. Perhaps the only positive is that he'd not allowed all nine inherited runners to score — though he's gotten himself into enough trouble on his own.

After going on a tear in his return from the DL, J.D. Martinez has hit a dry spell. Since Sept. 11 he's batting just .209/.295/.358 entering play on Saturday, with 22 strikeouts (not counting tonight) and only two home runs in 18 games. He's walked only 9 times and knocked 4 doubles, scoring 6 runs.

From the weird injury department, Tyler Collins sprained his left ankle stepping into a sprinkler while shagging fly balls in BP.
 
Need Baltimore or blue jays to lose tomorrow now and for the tigers to win, then if Seattle wins tonight yet also that might further complicate things
 
Just can not catch up in the lose column! And the worst part they may have to play Monday so Cleveland can get a home field spot! What a mess. Too many games of scoring 2 or less runs! I'm a little upset I got it 4 and 35 right now. 25% of there games, with this team IMO that's bad.
 
Tigers need a damn win and they start freaking Zimmermann :/
4 innings 2 ER and 3 walks. What a freaking waste of money .
