Yankees draw first blood



Bobby Abreu smacked a two-run double and Jason Giambi ripped a two-run homer as the Yankees scored five runs in the third. The Tigers, though, rebounded with three in the fifth tonight in the AL Division Series.

YANKEES 8 - DETROIT 4

Yankees lead the 5 game series 1-0

Game 2
Detroit-manufactured Triumph



Things definitely looked good for the Yankees in the fourth inning after they surged in front on Johnny Damon's three-run homer to the upper deck in right. But the Tigers rallied off Yankees starter Mike Mussina, tying the series heading back to Detroit.

Trailing 3-1, the Tigers used a sac fly, a homer and a run-scoring triple to pull out a win and a split of their trip to Yankee Stadium. Curtis Granderson's three-bagger put Detroit in front, and the bullpen tossed 3 2/3 one-hit innings to ground the Yankees.
