Coke is 2nd pitcher in Tigers playoff history to record 2.0+ IP save -- Hernandez had 2 during the 1984 World Series. #EveryGameCounts

Sunday was 8th SHO by Tigers in club's post-season history -- 2nd time Detroit has shut out NYY in playoffs. #EveryGameCounts
 
Avila: "It's definitely exciting coming back home 2-0, with Verlander going tomorrow, that's for sure."

Avila: One of the advantages we had last month of the season is that each of those games were like the postseason, a must-win game.

Avila on JV: "He's evolved from a guy that had great stuff, into a guy that has great stuff, and can pitch."
Avila on JV: "The confidence that we're going to win the game when he's on the mound is about as high as it can get."

Avila on Leyland going w/ hot hand from 'pen: "At this point of the season, you've gotta go with the guys who are going to get outs".

Avila on 'pen: "Big difference between bullpen this year & last year. I think there's a lot more guys that Skip can trust to put in there."

Avila on difference in Coke: "The difference is his fastball command. ... Recently, his fastball command has been perfect."

Avila: "At some point, the Yankees are going to make a run, going to break out, score some runs ... we've just got to limit the damage."

Avila: "I can sure as hell tell you we're going to try to win the next 2 games ... but I can't tell you if that's going to happen."

With a pinch-hit RBI Sunday, Avisail Garcia joined Dave Bergman ('87) as only Tigers w/multiple games w/pinch-hit RBI in postseason.
 
"We won two big games, but we have to win two more to go to the World Series. We’re not taking anything for granted.” Justin Verlander

JV on Miggy: "I think it's a fantastic sign that we've been able to win games without him having the games that we're used to him having."

JV on Miggy: "If teams are going to try to limit him, it's great that the guys behind him are able to come through."

JV on home/road splits: "Like I said, it's a clean slate in the postseason, and I think I pitched pretty good in my last start."

JV on what Valverde negative reaction might hear at Comerica Park: "Really, honestly, I'd like to see no negative reaction."

More JV on Valverde: "We're in the postseason, and any positive vibe we can get will help us win."

JV said he understands that fans pay for tickets, and have right to boo, but equated it to Coco Crisp situation.
