Detroit Tigers Justin Verlander held off the New York Yankees 2-1 in Game 3 of the American League
is decidedly in the Detroit Tigers' favor. So is the sustained futility of the New York Yankees' lineup.
Justin Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning Tuesday night as the Tigers held off the New York Yankees 2-1 in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series at Comerica Park.
The Tigers have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the best of seven series and will go for the sweep on Wednesday night when Max Scherzer, who led the major leagues in strikeouts in the regular season, faces Yankees ace CC Sabathia in Game 4 at 8:07 p.m. ET.
