Game 5. Winner-take-all. One team goes to Boston, the other team goes home.

Said Tigers starter Justin Verlander: “It’s what you play the game for. It’s exciting. This is what you dream of as a kid, be on the mound in a clinching game. You don’t pretend. It’s not just another game. The season is on the line. It was on the line for us (Tuesday), too. This whole season, the way we battled and played as a team, comes down to one game, may the best team win.”

The American League Division Series between the Detroit Tigers and Oakland A's will be settled by a Game 5 at O.co Coliseum ... for a second straight year.

We'll be here live chatting throughout the game, starting around 7:45 p.m.
