The Tampa Bay Rays took advantage of the weakest link the Detroit Tigers had during their disappointing season. 

The Tampa Bay Rays are heading into the playoffs for the first time after rallying from a five-run deficit, losing the lead and winning in extra innings.

Miguel Cabrera homered and Dontrelle Willis had his best outing of a lost season, helping the Detroit Tigers beat the Rays 4-3 Saturday in Tampa Bay's first game since clinching the AL East title.
