Justin Verlander took a shutout into the 9th inning as the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the New York Yankees, 2-1, for a 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. Yankees manager Joe Girardi changed his batting order again, benching Alex Rodriguez and Nick Swisher in order to turn things around, but even that didn't work.
Tigers new closer Phil Coke gave up consecutive singles with two outs in the 9th inning before striking out postseason star Raul Ibanez for his second save in two games.
Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera knocked in a base hit that put the Tigers on the board and now has a 16-game hitting streak in LCS play, breaking a tie for that record that was once held by Manny Ramirez and Pete Rose.
Detroit can complete a sweep and earn its second AL title in seven years this Wednesday night when Max Scherzer pitches against Yankees ace CC Sabathia.
