Game 160: Red Sox can clinch postseason berth with win vs. Tigers; lineups and notes
Despite a 6-1 loss in Toronto on Thursday, the Red Soxâ magic number is still 1.
With their next win or the Astrosâ next loss, the Red Sox would lock up an American League wild-card berth and their first trip to the playoffs since 2021.
TheyâÂÂll host the spiraling Tigers, who appeared to have the AL Central title comfortably locked up before the surging Guardians entered the picture with 17 wins in their past 20 games (the Tigers in that stretch are 4-16).
Lefthander Kyle Harrison will be on the mound for the Red Sox opposite Detroit righthander Casey Mize. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. at Fenway Park.
Red Sox magic number to clinch playoff spot remains one heading into final series of regular season
The Boston Red Sox did not clinch a playoff spot Thursday night in the team's first opportunity to punch its ticket to the postseason. The Red Sox will try to secure their first playoff berth since 2021 Friday night at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox needed a win in Toronto or an Athletics win over the Houston Astros on Thursday to clinch a spot in the MLB playoffs. Boston got neither.
The Astros avoided a sweep by the homeless A's, 11-5, before the Red Sox even took the field in Toronto. Then Boston came up short in its bid to sweep the Blue Jays, losing 6-1 as the bats went quiet and Brayan Bello was a bit erratic on the mound. Bello needed 89 pitches to get through five innings and allowed three runs off three hits and three walks. The Red Sox offense didn't get on base until a Jarren Duran double in the seventh inning.
