5–2 already ran. 8–1 already ran. 4–2 already ran. 3–1 already ran. This is Monday night’s unused Comerica final.
Associated Press / CBS Sports, Monday, Sept. 21, Comerica Park: Tigers 9, Nationals 2. One day after Detroit was eliminated. River Ryan, acquired from the Dodgers in the Tarik Skubal trade, three scoreless innings in his Detroit debut: two hits, one walk, two strikeouts. Keider Montero (10–9) four scoreless in relief for the win. DJ Herz (0–1), first big-league appearance in nearly two years after April 2025 Tommy John, four innings, four runs, five hits. Javier Báez, Ben Malgeri, and Spencer Torkelson the three Detroit homers — Báez in the fourth, Malgeri and Torkelson in a five-run fifth. Yohandy Morales a two-run homer in the eighth after it was 9–0. Tigers 74–83. Nationals 73–84. We will not pick a season home-run count where the recap and the line disagree.
8–1 already ran as Sunday’s elimination. 9–2 is not that box replayed. The clubs meet again Tuesday at 6:40. We will not invent that score.
What this means for you
If you needed Sunday’s 8–1, Detroit is still out. If you needed this afternoon’s unused box, it is 9–2, Ryan’s three, three homers. If you needed tonight’s first pitch, wait.
Bottom line: 9–2. Ryan three scoreless. Three homers. Not 8–1. Not 5–2. Not 6:40.
