The Yankees use a nine-run 6th inning to blow away the Tigers, 11 – 5. Robinson Cano hits a double and homer and collects 3 RBI in the frame. The Yankees are now a game in front of Tampa Bay, who lose, 4 – 3, to Oakland, but place newly-acquired 1B Lance Berkman on the disabled list with a sprained ankle.
