Washington Nationals vs. Detroit Tigers at 22:40 UTC on 21 Sep 2026: MLB Game Winner

Detroit Tigers

<think> Okay, let's take a look at this market. The question is about the winner of the MLB game between the Washington Nationals and Detroit Tigers on September 21, 2026, at 22:40 UTC. The resolution criteria specify that the answer must come from the official final result of gamePk 824221. The options are either the Nationals (0) or the Tigers (1). Resolver 1 checked the MLB StatsAPI and found that the Detroit Tigers won 9-2, with the game status as final. They confirmed the Tigers were marked as the winner (isWinner: true) and the Nationals as the loser. Resolver 2 also used the MLB Stats API sources. They checked the schedule endpoint and the live feed, both showing the game as final. The data they retrieved aligns with Resolver 1's findings: Tigers at 9 points, Nationals at 2, and the Tigers being recorded as the winner. Both resolvers used the same authoritative source (MLB's official API) and arrived at the same conclusion. The game was indeed final, with the Detroit Tigers winning. There's no conflicting information here. The market close was on September 22nd, after the game time, so even if the close was after the game ended, the resolvers accessed the final results before the current time of 2026-09-22T09:16:28Z. There's no mention of the game being postponed, tied, or any other exceptions. Everything points to the Tigers as the clear winner. I don't see any reason to doubt the resolvers' findings here. The evidence is consistent and from MLB's own data, so the answer should be 1. </think> ANSWER: Detroit Tigers
