The Detroit Tigers have made a surprising push for the postseason, sweeping the Kansas City Royals with a 4-2 win, and now trail the Minnesota Twins by just half a game for the final American League wild-card spot. Key moments included an athletic slide by Jace Jung and a home run by Riley Greene. Meanwhile, the Texas Rangers secured a 13-8 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, breaking their three-game losing streak. Wyatt Langford and Leody Taveras both homered for the Rangers, while struggling Jonah Heim delivered a crucial two-run single. Nathan Eovaldi had a rough outing but was supported by strong offensive performances to secure the win. The Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a standout game, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Rangers' offensive onslaught.
