The Tigers and Blue Jays open a three-game series Monday, September 14 at 7:07 p.m. ET at Rogers Centre. Troy Melton (8-4) starts for Detroit against Jose Soriano (12-7) for Toronto. The Blue Jays are 75-75 and one game behind Cleveland for the third AL wild card with 12 to play, so this series matters to them. Detroit is 70-79 and out of it. The game is on Sportsnet in Canada and the Tigers regional network in Michigan, with MLB.TV out of market.

What Is at Stake
Toronto is the team with something to play for. At 75-75 the Blue Jays sit one game behind the Guardians for the last AL wild card spot, and a home series against a Detroit club that has faded badly is exactly the schedule they wanted in the middle of September. The Tigers, who spent most of the summer within reach, are 70-79 and now in spoiler territory. Melton has been one of the few bright spots in their rotation.
How to Watch Without Cable
MLB.TV carries the game outside the Toronto and Detroit territories. In Canada the game is on Sportsnet, which streams through Sportsnet+; in Michigan the Tigers regional broadcast is available through its direct streaming option and on Fubo and DirecTV Stream locally.
