In!

The Yanks looked lost through the first three innings against JP Howell only to break out for two in the 4th, seven in the 5th and three in the 6th. The big blows included a bases-loaded single by Jorge and a three-run shot by Cano.

The Tigers are eliminated by the team that they eliminated last year (karma?). So the Yanks will probably win the wildcard and play Cleveland in the Division Series.

The celebration was unexpectedly wild, I suppose due to how far the Yanks came back from (eight games below .500) and the slew of rookies who are experiencing this for the first time.



PS: a good read on the aftermath of the Pats cheating scandal. Some very fishy stuff...
