One More

My beloved Detroit Tigers are heading to Seattle tonight after beating the Cleveland Guardians, 6-3, in Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Round.

🐅⚾️ Tigers catcher Dillon Dingler put the Tigers up, 2-1, with a solid HR in the 6th.

 Catcher Cards RULE!

🐅⚾️ Detroit added 4 runs in the 7th, and, after some 8th inning drama, held on for the win.
