The four game series against the Yankees is now tied 1-1. C.C. Sabathia pitched seven innings, giving up only two earned runs on five hits. Justin Verlander gave up five hits through five innings, and allowed three earned runs.
Tiger-turned-Yankee Curtis Granderson hit a home run off of JV in the second inning, making that his fifth consecutive hit against the Tigers in the series. Another former Tiger, Marcus Thames, grounded out into a double play in the first inning.
The Tigers continue the series tomorrow night with Jeremy Bonderman facing off against Dustin Moseley.
