PAT CAPUTO: 2011 Tigers Will Be Remembered For What They Accomplished, Not Saturday's Loss
With the Tigers holding a 2-0 lead entering the bottom of the third inning Saturday night, it was impossible not to imagine they were going to do it again.
Miguel Cabrera and Jhonny Peralta hit early home runs for the Tigers. Texas Rangers' starting pitcher Derek Holland was shaky.
Conversely, Tigers' starter Max Scherzer was in control during the first two innings, and had performed very well in the postseason to that point.
So the Tigers had been down three games to one in the American League Championship Series. They were coming back again, about to force a Game 7 with a Game 6 victory.
