The Tigers win Game 3 of the ALCS, 5 – 2, over Texas, but still trail the Rangers, 2 games to 1. Doug Fister allows a 1st-inning run, but then settles down, not giving up another score until the 8th. But by that time, Detroit has put five runs across the plate, on solo homers by Victor Martinez and Jhonny Peralta off Colby Lewis, another by Miguel Cabrera off Koji Uehara, and a two-run single by Austin Jackson.
