Phil Coke finished off Justin Verlander's masterpiece in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series, and the Detroit Tigers put themselves on the verge of a World Series berth with another close win, 2-1, over the New York Yankees. A solo homer by Delmon Young and an RBI double by Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera was all the offense the Tigers needed with their ace on the hill. Over the first eight frames, Verlander (3-0) yielded just a pair of singles to Ichiro Suzuki. Eduardo Nunez ended the right-hander's string of 23 straight scoreless innings with a leadoff homer in the ninth, and Verlander was pulled after retiring Brett Gardner on a groundout. Coke put the go-ahead run on base before fanning the red-hot Raul Ibanez to earn his second straight save, moving the Tigers one win away from their first trip to the Fall Classic since 2006. The Yankees will turn to CC Sabathia on Wednesday, while Detroit's Max Scherzer will look to finish off the sweep.
