CANADIENS27 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 C.C. Sabbathia and two relievers shut down Detroit on eight hits, four after Sabathia left after the seventh inning to give the Yankees a 7-0 win. Justin Verlander took the loss giving up three runs on seven hits over 7 1/3 innings. One was home run on a hanging slider to Jayson Nix for a two run homer which came after a fastball over the plate to Francisco Cervelli for an RBI double. The bullpen eliminated any chance Detroit might have had by giving up two runs in both the eighth and ninth innings. Relievers need to get batters out to give the team a chance to get back into the game if the starter has a bad outing or to hold the lead once the starter leaves. Until Detroit straightens out this problem, they will be in for a long season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tigers left 5 runners in scoring position and were 2 for 12 in that category. They have been 4 for 38 this week. The bullpen gave five runs in the eighth inning aided in large part by a miscommunication between Austin Jackson and Matt Tuiasosopo in left center field. Starter Anibal Sanchez took the loss.
