Detroit Tigers Take 2 From Yankees in ALCS

Stu Allen — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 00:14:56 +0000

The Detroit Tigers relied on good starting pitching and some timely hitting to take the first two games of the American League Championship Series from the Yankees in New York. The Tigers now lead the best-of-seven series 2-0 and come home to Comerica Park for the next three games. If the Tigers can win two of [...]

Bring on the Yankees, Detroit Tigers Begin American League Championship Series in New York Tomorrow Night

Both the Tigers and Yankees had to struggle to get to the ALCS, the Tigers beating [...]

Detroit Tigers Beat Yankees, Advance To ALCS vs. Texas

Stu Allen — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 04:07:41 +0000

This one was a nail-biter. The Tigers and Yankees in a winner-take-all deciding Game 5 of the American League Divisional Series. The Tigers got the lead early when Don Kelly and Delmon Young hit back-to-back solo homers in the first innning off Yankee rookie Ivan Nova. Doug Fister was under duress in most of the five innings he pitched for the Tigers, but left with Detroit leading 2-0.

Detroit Tigers Stink It Up, ALDS Deciding Game 5 Thursday In NY

Stu Allen — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:54:17 +0000

The Tiger bats took the night off. Two of the balls that they hit hard were both caught by former Tiger centerfielder Curtis Granderson and both kept the Tigers from enjoying a big inning. Rick Porcello wasn't great, but kept his team in the game. In the 8th inning, the Yankee bats got it going and the Tiger bullpen fell apart. Phil Coke loaded the bases on three straight hits. He was replaced by Al Alburquerque who promptly balked home a run. By the time the inning was over the Yankees had added 6 runs to their lead and the rout was on.

Detroit Tigers Beat Yankees To Lead ALDS 2-1

Stu Allen — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 04:20:01 +0000

Justin Verlander is going to win the American League Cy Young award. He demonstrated tonight why he might also get the nod as A.L. MVP. Verlander fell behind early as the Yankees scored two runs right away in the first inning. He then got into his groove and put zeros on the scoreboard until his teammates could get him a lead. Verlander struck out 11 Yankee batters in 8 innings of work. The Yankees got to Verlander for two runs in the 7th to tie the game at 4-4. I certainly didn't expect Verlander to go back out there for the 8th, but after Delmon Young hit the first pitch he saw from reliever Rafael Soriano into the right field seats to put the Tigers ahead 5-4, there was J.V. mowing down the Yankees in the 8th.

Detroit Tigers Win Game 2 Of ALDS, Beat Yankees 5-3

Max Scherzer gave the Tigers the pitching lift that they needed on the front end of today's American Leauge Divisional Series game with the Yankees in New York. Scherzer was a little wild, but held the Bronx Bombers hitless through the first 5 innings. Miguel Cabrera reached out and poked an outside pitch over the ridiculously short right field fence at Yankee Stadium for a two-run homer in the first inning.

Detroit Tigers Lose Big In ALDS Game 1

Stu Allen — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 03:58:00 +0000

I really hate the rule that says that playoff games must be finished once they start. The Tigers could have used two more at-bats to potentially get back into tonight's game at Yankee Stadium. Instead, this game began in the bottom of the 2nd inning after last night's game was rained out. Doug Fister picked up where Justin Verlander left off last night, and kept the game close until the 6th inning. Remember that this game started out in the 2nd inning tied at 1-1. A couple of bloops and bleeders and a pair of walks led to a pair of Yankee runs and loaded the bases. Jim Leyland went to the bullpen and brought in Al Alburquerque. Tiger radio announcer Jim Price (I blame you, Jim!) couldn't help but point out the fact that Alburquerque hadn't given up a home run this season.

Detroit Tigers Playoff Game 1 Rained Out

Stu Allen — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 02:48:08 +0000

The Tigers and Yankees both sent their aces to the mound to start the American League Divisional Series, and both didn't get far before the rains came. Verlander pitched just one inning and gave up a run, while C.C. Sabbathia of the Yankees threw two innings and also surrendered one run. After the game went into rain delay, the stroms intensified and the game was called after more than an hour's interruption.

Stu Allen — Thu, 05 May 2011 20:39:48 +0000

The Tigers were trailing most of the way in this one against New York’s A.J. Burnett. Detroit didn’t even have a hit until the 6th inning. The Tigers managed to score 6 runs with only 4 hits. 3 Yankee errors aided the Tiger cause, and Detroit made the most of it. Brennan Boesch drove in three [...]

Tigers End Losing Streak, Beat Yankees 4-2

Stu Allen — Wed, 04 May 2011 02:29:27 +0000

Some of the players responsible for prolonging the Tiger 7-game losing streak finally helped to end it. Austin Jackson, Magglio Ordonez and Jose Valverde all made contributions in the 4-2 Tiger win over New York tonight at Comerica Park. Scott Sizemore also made a big impact in his first game after being called up from Toledo. [...]

Tigers Let Another Get Away, Losing Streak At Seven

Stu Allen — Tue, 03 May 2011 02:55:07 +0000

Justin Verlander didn’t have his best command. But he pitched a gutsy 6 innings and only allowed 3 runs to the Yankees while striking out 8. He was still throwing 99 and 100 mph, 130 pitches into the game. Alex Avila homered twice and Miguel Cabrera drove in the other Tiger run, but it was [...]

Tiger Losing Streak Is Now A Six Pack

Stu Allen — Sun, 01 May 2011 21:15:58 +0000

Tiger manager Jim Leyland said after today’s 5-4 loss to Cleveland, “We’re just not doing enough things to win.” No kidding. The Tigers had a 2-0 lead in the early going and gave it back an inning later. They took a 3-2 lead in the top of the 8th before Joaquin Benoit surrendered two runs [...]

Stu Allen — Sun, 01 May 2011 08:14:15 +0000

The Tigers had plenty of chances. 11 runners left on base. 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position. Miguel Cabrera and [...]
