Athletics Defeat Tigers 7-6 in 13 Innings

The Detroit Tigers secured a narrow 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Saturday, marking their 50th one-run game of the season. The win came after a tough 7-6 loss in 13 innings the previous night, where Seth Brown's walk-off hit sealed the game for the Athletics. In Saturday's game, the Tigers scored both runs in the seventh inning following an error by the Athletics' second baseman that allowed them to load the bases. Tigers’ starter Brenan Hanifee opened the game, and Brant Hurter pitched effectively to keep the Athletics to just one run. The Tigers remain five games behind the Minnesota Twins in the race for the final American League wild-card spot with only 19 games left in the season. The series will conclude on Sunday, with both teams looking to secure a crucial win as the postseason approaches.
