Sports Thread #2 For 9/29/09: Verlander, Tigers Get Massive Game 2 Win Over Twins

Reuters' Rebecca Cook
Now the Twins have to win the final two games of this series, or the Tigers will be the Yankees' opponent for the second time in four post seasons in the Divisional round.

The Tigers are a stunning 71-0 when leading after 8th innings, and no question Fernando Rodney has made himself an elite closer in the absence of Joel Zumaya.

Even with the Yankees playing well, the Tigers do have the arms that can easily compete and give them trouble if Sabathia, Petite, and Burnett aren't up to par.
