Justin Verlander took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the New York Yankees 2-1 Tuesday night for a 3-0 lead in the AL championship series.
It's the second time that A-Rod has been benched this postseason. He's 3-for-26 in the playoffs so far, and is 0-for-18 with 12 strikeouts against right-handers.
"I just have to go out there and pitch, that's all it boils down to," Hughes said. "(I can't) really worry about being down 0-2 or that Verlander is on the mound or that we don't have our captain. Those sorts of things are going to be wasted energy."
Though he's not so great at the wave, Donald Trump knows how to deliver a stinging critique.
There were times this year when Justin Verlander took the mound while his team was reeling a bit -- and the right-hander's presence was Detroit's best shot at snapping out of a momentary funk.

"The technology is available," said Girardi. "That's what our country has done. We have evolved technology to make things better. Yeah, let's have instant replay. And not just, not just home run, fair, foul. Let's have instant replay."
If Derek Jeter's on-field mortality indeed represents the death of Yankee dominance, then you can still say it was one helluva run. No matter when the end, all empires fall, even Evil ones.
The manager doesn't believe in panicking. The locker room doesn't believe in panicking. But if ever there was a time for it, with Derek Jeter done and the Yankees' hitters as lost as lost can be, this is it.
This team is begging for leaders, and Alex Rodriguez and Robinson Cano are the next in line. If they have it in them, they will be in line to receive the spoils of Yankee greatness. It not, this season will be over in just a couple days.
Needless to say the Yankees face an uphill battle if they hope to even win a game against the Tigers.
