The Detroit Tigers moved to within one game of the League Championship Series, downing the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at Comerica Tigers Park by a score of 7-1. Tigers right-hander Stu Ladnier had a strong outing in which he threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. The win gives the Tigers a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-5 League Divisional Series.

Dan Jackson, who finished 5th in the AL in wins above replacement with 5.3 in 2026, came through for Detroit with a 2-run double in the bottom of the fifth. The shortstop went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and collected 3 RBI.

Ladnier told the media after that game that the mood in the clubhouse is "extremely positive" after a win like that.

Game 3 is scheduled for Monday at Tropicana Field in Tampa.
