The Detroit Tigers, given last rites in early August, are now one win from playing for the American League championship.

Believe it.

In front of the largest postseason crowd ever at Comerica Park (44,885), the Tigers seized control of this best-of-five American League Division Series on Wednesday, blanking the Cleveland Guardians in Game 3, 3-0.

The Tigers, who hadn’t played a home playoff game since 2014 and hadn’t won one since 2013, can clinch the series here Thursday.
