Huge win for the Tigers, I think they locked the series up with their win tonight.

Great outing by Verlander, struck out 11 in 8 innings.

Lived and died with every pitch last night.

Got to do it again tonight.

Before the game, spotlight is on AJ Burnett and whether he can put together a decent start tonight:

The Yankees need to save their season, and, lo and behold, A.J. Burnett is the one who will try to ensure that happens.

It took an interesting turn of events -- perhaps Yankees fans would call it a cruel twist of fate -- but with the Yanks needing to win Game 4 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday to force a Game 5 at Yankee Stadium, it'll be the enigmatic Burnett trying to come through against young-but-tenured Tigers starter Rick Porcello.

Burnett knows about all the criticism, all the insecurities and all the doubt surrounding whether he can continue to be a productive member of the Yanks' rotation.

Apparently, he listens to none of it.

"Believe it or not, I've got pretty good confidence every start," said Burnett, who's 1-2 with a 5.67 ERA in six postseason starts. "I try to go out and believe I can throw a no-hitter. Even last year, when I couldn't get out of the first inning, I still took the mound with belief, and I did so this year."

Burnett has put up a 5.20 ERA the last two seasons, and in 2011, he set career highs in homers and wild pitches, all while contributing just 10 quality starts in 32 appearances.

For that, Burnett initially found himself out of the playoff rotation -- before Friday's suspended game forced manager Joe Girardi to go with four starters -- and for that, Yankees fans are holding their collective breath with Burnett getting ready to take the mound in a big start.

He gets all that.

But he has a message.

"You can't count me out," Burnett said on Monday. "I'm going to bring everything I've got and just let A.J. loose out there."

Go Tigers!

 

[powerchord86]

I hated watching the Yanks continually knock the Twins out in the first round.

I want to see the Tigers to give the Yankees the AL Central boot!
