    Tigers White Sox score today: Live updates, game highlights

    Win and you’re in.

    The Detroit Tigers’ magic number is 1 and on Friday night they can clinch a playoff spot for the first time in 10 years.

    You can do it at home, at Comerica Park, in front of excited fans who have been waiting for this moment. And they can do it against the division rival Chicago White Sox, who are just one loss away from setting a record for most losses in a season since 1901 and the modern era of Major League Baseball. (You can also do it with a Minnesota Twins loss to the Baltimore Orioles at 8:10 p.m. on the first pitch.)

    The Tigers, owners of the longest active playoff drought in the MLB (since 2014), can seal an epic comeback that had them 11 games away from an American League wild-card spot as of August 10, with one less chance than 1% to reach the postseason. They are now three games ahead with three games left to play.

    Manager AJ Hinch continues his unorthodox but successful “opener” strategy by starting right-hander Brenan Hanifee (1-1, 1.98 ERA) and facing the White Sox’s best, left-hander Garrett Crochet (6-12, 3.68 ERA). Chicago has won three games in a row to make history, while the Tigers have won five games in a row.

    An exciting best-of-three wildcard round matchup with the Orioles or the Houston Astros awaits you on Tuesday. The Tigers have three chances to make it.
