The Tigers appeared dead a week earlier. Then, Kirk Gibson hit a dramatic home run in Toronto which turned the pennant race around. Toronto did not win again. Detroit went 5-2 down the stretch. On the final day of the 1987 season, Larry Herndon homered and Frank Tanana pitched a shutout as the Tigers swept Toronto and won the AL East. They did not return to the postseason again until 2006.
