If Tigers fans had forgotten just how stressful October baseball can be during their 10-year absence from the postseason, they got a vivid reminder in the ninth inning of Game 1 at Minute Maid Park. After a predictably brilliant performance from Tarik Skubal, the Tigers nearly lost a 3-0 lead, hanging on only after a Jason Heyward line drive (that would have tied or even won the game) was caught by first baseman Spencer Torkelson, allowing hundreds of thousands of Detroit fans to exhale.
