Tigers-Yankees Preview 4-27-12
(AP) -- The Detroit Tigers eliminated the New York Yankees in the opening round of the playoffs last fall.
Justin Verlander was responsible for one of those victories, but he hasn't been nearly as effective in the Bronx.
The reigning AL MVP and Cy Young winner looks to win a third straight start with his first victory at New York in almost five years Friday night when the Tigers and Yankees open this three-game series.
Detroit (10-9) beat New York (10-8) in five games in the AL divisional series before being eliminated in six by Texas in the championship series.
