Tigers to Face A's in the Playoffs

The Detroit Tigers will take on the Oakland A's in the first round of the playoffs.

The match-up wasn't finalized until late Wednesday after the A's beat the Rangers 12-5, and the Yankees defeated the Red Sox 14-2. The Tigers had clinched their spot in the playoffs Monday.

First pitch for the game will be at 6 p.m. Saturday at Comerica Park, according to the Tigers website.

The series will be a rematch of the 2006 American League Championship Series, which the Tigers won.

The Tigers will also play Sunday; that game time has not been determined. As of Thursday morning, tickets to  Saturday night's game were still available for $40-$80; here's where you buy them online.
