Tigers Edge Pirates in Wild Card Race | MLB News

The Tigers roar back with an 8-5 win over the Pirates, thanks to a monster two-run homer from hometown hero Kevin McGonigle and another big game from Brett Callahan. The victory snaps their skid and puts them right in the thick of the AL wild card race—tied with rivals, just one game behind. McGonigle’s blast, cheered by his parents in the stands, gave Detroit a cushion early, but Pittsburgh clawed back with late-inning drama. The bullpen held strong, and Kenley Jansen locked it down for his 16th save. A gritty, pivotal win that keeps playoff hopes alive.
