Pat Caputo: Tigers Beat The Yankees For A Simple Reason - They Are Better
The Tigers have done it again. What other teams down through history have only dreamed of doing.
Beat the New York Yankees in the postseason.
It's an amazing story. Really. One that is ongoing after the Tigers clinched their American League Division Series with the Yankees with a tense, 3-2 victory Thursday night at Yankee Stadium.
The Tigers were constantly on the brink of letting the game get away. At every key moment, they got a big out.
It was typical of the Tigers, who advance to face the Texas Rangers in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series Saturday. And the second time they have knocked the mighty Yankees out of the ALDS since 2006.
