Clinching a wild-card spot due to a Tigers loss carried a lot more meaning than you might think.
For those worried about a 1987 Blue Jays collapse, there is something fitting about a 1-0 Tigers loss on a Sunday to put TOR into playoffs.

During the 1987 MLB season, the Jays held a 3½-game advantage over the Tigers with a week to play. Then the Jays' worst nightmare came true when they lost all seven of their last games in a row.
For added insult, Detroit swept Toronto at Tiger Stadium to win the division.
In 2016, Blue Jays fans are elated with the Detroit Tigers...for losing.
Tigers lose! See ya Tuesday, Orioles! @BlueJays
