Detroit Tigers, Game 20: One thing I loved, one thing I didn't

The News' Tony Paul gives his quick takes on the Tigers' 1-0, 10-inning loss to the Red Sox on Friday: One thing I loved As Riley Greene said with a smile after Thursday's 10-9 walk-off win over the Royals at Comerica Park , the Gritty Tigs seem to be back. Detroit swept the Kansas City series, with all three games won on the Tigers' final at-bat. That's just the sixth time in franchise history that the Tigers have swept a series of three games or more with all the wins on their last at-bat (H/T to Elias Sports Bureau for that fascinating tidbit).

Here are the six times it's happened: April 14-16, 2026, vs. Royals July 15-17, 1991, vs. Rangers June 20-22, 1988, vs.

Yankees Aug. 26-27, 1972, at Twins July 27-29, 1971, vs. Royals April 25-28, 1901, vs.

Brewers Interestingly, that first instance, in 1901, marked the first four games in franchise history. In the first Tigers game ever, they scored 10 runs in the ninth inning to rally for a 14-13 walk-off win over Milwaukee. Against the Royals earlier this week, the Tigers won the first two games, 2-1, by taking the lead in the eighth inning, before rallying from a 9-7 deficit in the ninth inning Thursday on heroics by Greene and Colt Keith.
