 * In the lead, there are three links to American League Central, only the first instance needs linking. Also, in the third instance the contraction "AL Central" is used, which should be expanded or explained earlier on.
 * "identical records of 86–76" this will be unclear to readers unfamiliar with baseball. Suggest "identical win–loss records of 86–76"
 * There's a problem with the dates all the way through. Things like "May 10th" should be replaced by "May 10"
 * You need to replace the hyphens with commas or em-dashes in the following sentence: "Tigers' hitting coach Lloyd McClendon-who had been acting as manager following Leyland's ejection-was"
 * The Game Summary section is somewhat lacking in citations. At least one per paragraph is usually preferable.
 * "the Twins would retie the game" needs to be past tense --> "the Twins retied the game"

Those were the only problems I found so once they have been addressed I'll pass this one. Big Dom  08:07, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed, except Win–loss record. That article pertains only to pitchers, not team records. The Game Summary is largely cited by the general reference. Staxringold talkcontribs 13:22, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem regarding the win-loss thing. As you can probably tell, I am one of those readers unfamiliar with baseball – try as I might I can't make head nor tail of the game. Anyway, good work on the other points (although I replaced the en-dashes you used with em-dashes). I'll pass this one now, it meets the criteria in my opinion. Big  Dom  13:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
