The Tigers swept the New York Yankees in a quick four games to advance to the World Series for the second time since 2006, taking the deciding game at Comerica Park by an 8-1 final score.
A pair of RBI singles from Delmon Young in the first and Avisaíl García in the third innings got the scoring going for Detroit, before a pair of two-run home runs from Miguel Cabrera and Jhonny Peralta broke things wide open. Closer Phil Coke would seal the win.
