162 games is not quite enough to figure out everything in the AL playoff picture. The Chicago White Sox, behind a grand slam by Alexei Ramirez, defeated the Detroit Tigers forcing a one game playoff between the White Sox and Minnesota Twins to determine the winner of the AL central, and the chance to square off with the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS.
The Tigers were up 2-1 after the top of the 6th, but the grand slam by Ramirez gave the White Sox a lead that they were not going to give up. Gavin Floyd picked up the win bumping his record to 17-8.
The game was a makeup of a rainout earlier this month, and was delayed 3 hours by rain moving through the Chicago area.
