The Yankees tie their ALDS with Detroit at two games each with a 10 – 1 rout at Comerica Park. Due to the suspension of Game 1 which cost the two teams an off-day, the Yankees have to start the unpredictable A.J. Burnett against Rick Porcello, but he responds with a solid performance. Burnett gives up a run in 5 2/3 innings after issuing three walks in the 1st. New York puts the game away by beating up Detroit’s bullpen for 6 8th-inning runs.
