Here’s who Detroit Tigers will play in first round of playoffs
It took until the final out of the regular season, but we finally know who the Detroit Tigers will play in the wild card round of the playoffs.
With Detroit’s loss and Kansas City’s win on Sunday, the Tigers fell to the final wild card spot in the American League. That means they will head to Houston to play the Astros in the first round.
The Tigers ripped off 31 wins in 42 games to clinch a playoff spot on Friday night, and for a few days, it looked like they would head to Baltimore for the best-of-three series.
Here’s a look at all of Michigan’s invasive species
There are lots of different kinds of invasive species that Michigan residents should know about -- and some might surprise you.
Which ones might surprise you? Well, that depends on how much you know about invasive species. For me, the most surprising one was the worm. I didn’t know invasive worms were a thing until I started digging into Michigan’s invasive species list in 2022.
The state’s website has nine types of invasive species and the list includes birds, crustaceans, diseases, fish, insects, mammals, mollusks, plants, and the invasive jumping worm. Not every species on the list has been detected in Michigan, but officials are concerned enough that they want the public to at least be aware of them.
Supplies rushed to communities isolated by Helene as death toll rises to nearly 100
A crisis unfolded in Asheville as officials pledged to get more water, food and other supplies to flood-stricken areas without power and cellular service Monday, days after Hurricane Helene ripped across the U.S. Southeast. The death toll from the storm approached 100.
At least 91 people across several states were killed. A North Carolina county that includes the mountain city of Asheville reported 30 people killed.
Gov. Roy Cooper predicted the toll would rise as rescuers and other emergency workers reached areas isolated by collapsed roads, failing infrastructure and widespread flooding.
