That's like the 3rd or 4th time JV has done that this year..

nice win.

Verlander sharp, Benoit a little scary but got it done, and Papa Grande slammed the door.

Would like to see Cabrera and Prince contribute tomorrow though.

 

[kalinecountry]

This is the first time the Tigers have started the postseason with a win since 1984.

 

[@Stakesarehigh]

Both Prince and Miggy had some good swings just didn't work out.

 

[biggunsbob]

Very cool to win a game when Miguel and Prince don't do much damage...

 

[Mitchrapp]

Nice to see Avila with a couple good swings as well.

 

[Mitchrapp]

And I can never say enough about Quintin Berry. Not bad for a 27 year old career minor league.

 

[hellifino]

high 5 ya'll!

Solid win. We needed to win today. You can't waste JV starts.
