The young, surprising Detroit Tigers are celebrating once again.

They stunned the Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon, coming from behind with a 5-2 victory, winning the wild-card series and advancing to the ALDS, which will begin Saturday in Cleveland.

It’s the continuation of a two-month long magic carpet ride for this young team that just swept the Astros, a team that had advanced to the ALCS seven-straight seasons.

This time, everything turned in the top of the eighth inning.

The game was tied, 2-2, and the bases were loaded with two outs. Tigers manager A.J. Hinch turned to Ibañez to face Josh Hader, the Astros talented closer. Ibañez came out swinging, fouling off three pitches.

Then, Ibañez ripped a double into the left field corner, clearing the bases and giving the Tigers a stunning lead, 5-2.

Sean Guenther handled the end of the seventh and eighth.

And Will Vest got the save thanks, in part, to Parker Meadows, who made a leaping catch in the ninth.
