- You have to give the Tigers credit for this perhaps more than anything else. They rally right away from down. It's a 2-1 game. They are responding to the moment again.

- Gosh, Victor Martinez is a tremendous hitter. A 3-1 count, and he took full advantage of it with that home run. It was shot, too, got over the right field wall in the blink of an eye.

- Why does Joe Girardi insist on hitting Alex Rodriguez cleanup? He's dreadful.
