CLEVELAND — Deep breaths, Tigers fans.

Your long regional nightmare is over.

Detroit’s historic collapse is now just a footnote.

After blowing the biggest division lead in baseball history, the Tigers got the Guardians back when it mattered most, settling the score on a winner-take-all Thursday at Progressive Field.

And now the redemption tour rolls on.

Remember that old song by The Temptations, “I Wish It Would Rain”?

On a sun-bleached afternoon, the Tigers — who will face the Mariners in the AL Division Series — made their Motown wish come true with a 6-3 victory that flipped fate on its head.

It rained, and, finally, it poured.
