Rick Porcello, the Tigers’ 20-year-old rookie right-hander, will start Tuesday’s one-game playoff for the American League Central title in Minnesota.

The tiebreaker became set Sunday when the Tigers and Twins each won their last scheduled game of the regular season.

Porcello will try to give the Tigers their first division title since 1987, one year before he was born.
