Tigers Show Some Damn Heart! Detroit Forces Game 5 After Explosive Comeback

Now that’s the Detroit Tigers I’ve been waiting for!

After embarrassing themselves in Game 3 with an 8-4 stinker, the Tigers came back Wednesday night swinging — literally and figuratively.

They didn’t just survive Game 4… they owned it.

Through four innings, it felt like the same old story — Seattle up 3-0, Tigers bats looking lost, and Comerica Park energy flatter than gas station soda.

But this is Detroit. And in Detroit, we don’t fold easily.

We fight back. We claw. We roar.

Because starting in the fifth inning, the Tigers flipped the whole script.

Dillon Dingler sparked the comeback with an RBI double. Jahmai Jones followed up with another double to score Dingler. Then Javy Báez — who’s been catching heat from fans all year — stepped up and laced a single to tie the game at three.

The place erupted. It felt like Comerica woke up from a coma. From that point on, the floodgates opened.

Riley Greene came up in the sixth and said, “Enough’s enough.”

Boom. Solo shot. Tigers take their first lead since Game 1.

You could almost feel the city exhale.

Then the hits just kept on coming — Zach McKinstry added an RBI single, and Báez came back with a two-run homer that sent Comerica into a frenzy.

My man was clutch like an old-school stick shift.

After that? Seattle was cooked. Overdone. Done-done.

Detroit piled on a couple more insurance runs in the seventh and eighth, and the bullpen locked in like it was Game 7 of the World Series.

Final score: 9-3 Tigers, and we’re heading back to Seattle for Game 5.

Let’s keep it a buck; the Tigers had been looking like they lost their swagger. But on this night, they reminded everyone who they are and what this city’s built on.

Grit. Fire. And a whole lotta pride.

Detroit’s offense, which couldn’t buy a hit 24 hours earlier, put up 13 hits, including three home runs from Greene, Báez, and Gleyber Torres.

That’s the kind of energy this team needed. That’s the kind of performance the city deserved.

Now, it’s simple: one more win and the Tigers are in the ALCS.

And look, whether you’ve been with this team all season or you just hopped back on the bandwagon, you have to respect the fight.

Because in Detroit, we don’t go quietly.

We roar.
