Veteran major league manager Jim Leyland's tenure with the Detroit Tigers is ending on a low.
The 68-year-old stepped down Monday after Boston eliminated the Tigers from the best-of-seven American League Championship Series with a 5-2 win in Game 6 on Saturday night.
Detroit won the AL Central division three years in a row and two AL pennants under Leyland, who spent eight seasons with the Tigers.
He had been working under one-year contracts the past couple years and was content to wait until after the season to address his status.
Leyland has been a manager for 22 years, compiling a 1,769-1,728 record. Leyland won the 1997 World Series with the-then Florida Marlins.
