ABC Blue Jays at Tigers / The Detroit Tigers squared off 7 times against the Toronto Blue Jays in an epic run to capture the American League Eastern Division title during the final week of the 1987 season. The last three games were at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, with the Tigers sweeping the Blue Jays to win the title on the last game of the season on a 1-0 victory. The pitchers were Frank Tanana for the Tigers and Jimmy Key for the Blue Jays. Both went the distance, pitching incredible games. But this was the game of Frank Tanana's career, and the Blue Jays could not get anything going against him. The Tigers lone run was a bases empty home run early in the game from Larry Herdon. That run is not shown on this video.
