ALCS GM 2: 10/14/12 - DET (1-0) AT NYY (0-1) - 4:07 p.m. ET

Tigers: RHP Anibal Sanchez (0-1, 2.84 ERA)

The Yankees roughed up Sanchez for seven runs in three-plus innings Aug. 8 at Comerica Park, but he's a different looking pitcher now compared to then, having settled in with Detroit and learned how to pound the strike zone against AL hitters.




Yankees: RHP Hiroki Kuroda (0-0, 2.16 ERA)

Kuroda took no-decisions in both of his starts against the Tigers this season, the most recent on Aug. 9. Both the starts -- which were solid performances -- came in Detroit, and Kuroda allowed a combined five runs in 13 1/3 innings.






INJURY UPDATE:

• C Victor Martinez (left knee surgery, 60-day disabled list on March 12).
• OF Ryan Raburn (right quadriceps strain, 15-day DL on September 11).
• LHP Daniel Schlereth (left shoulder tendinitis, 60-day DL on April 21).
