DETROIT — Don't look now, but the Detroit Tigers are on the fringe of the playoff discussion in late July.
Detroit (49-54) sits just four games out of the final wild card spot in the American League as of Friday morning. The Tigers host AL Central rival Kansas City Royals in the second of a four-game series, which you can watch live on FOX 17.
