    "The most memorable wins frequently involve late-inning comebacks. The most searing losses typically often involve letting a late-inning lead slip.

    In those categories, the Tigers are doing better in the late innings than any team in the American League.

    Entering Wednesday, the Tigers had won six games in which they'd trailed in the seventh or later.

    They'd lost only one game in which they'd led in the seventh or later.

    That put them five games over .500 in games in which the winning team rallied in the seventh or later.

    No other American League team had done as well. Two other teams were four games over .500 in this category, according to records kept by the Free Press.

    Toronto entered Wednesday with a league-high seven wins when trailing in the seventh or later. The Blue Jays had lost three times when leading in the seventh or later. "
