Game 55 vs. NYY

The Tigers got on the board with multiple extra-base hits in the 3rd. Adam Jones tripled, Miguel Cabrera doubled, and Prince Fielder homered (to end a 12 game homerless streak).

After the mini-explosion in the 3rd, the Tigers thought that the rest would be smooth sailing; however,the 6th inning caused Justin Verlander some trouble. The defense behind him failed to convert any outs on two double play balls. The Yankees only got away with a sacrifice fly, but the inning still took a toll on Verlander's pitch count.

The bullpen roughly navigated through the late innings. There was a sign that the Yankees were coming back, but Valverde eventually closed the door.
