DETROIT – The American League Championship Series shifts to Comerica Park for Game 3, a matinee, 4pm et/1pm pt start. Asics Gel Kinsei 4 Mujer . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. “Well, I think its pretty simple,” said Leyland. “We let one get away. Theres no secret to that. I think the way you have to look at it in my opinion is we probably should be 1-1 and thats what we are. Theyre probably scratching their head trying to figure out how they didnt win the first game and were scratching our head saying how we let one get away (Sunday) night.” It would be premature to suggest Tuesdays is the pivotal game of the series. One team will go up 2-1 and it will be incumbent upon Tuesdays loser to bounce back on Wednesday evening.

Peralta: 11-31, .355/.364/.387, 1 2B, 4 RBI. Torii Hunter has two career home runs off Lester, Miguel Cabrera and Ramon Santiago has one each.

Hed already flown back to Detroit in anticipation of getting good rest prior to Tuesdays start. It was a good thing he did; the Tigers didnt arrive home until 5am et Monday morning. Verlander on the Game 2 loss: “In my opinion these are the two best teams in the American League. Weve made it to this point. When we play each other during the regular season it was a dogfight. At this point in the season nobody is going to give in. Nobody is going to give an inch, even down 5-1. Those guys battled. It was a heck of a ballgame. Obviously it sucks to let it slip away. This is baseball, youve got to reset and come ready to play the next game.” Red Sox manager John Farrell on momentum, whether it exists in baseball and if it does, whether his team has it following its late win on Sunday night: “You know, I think we certainly gained some confidence in the last couple of innings (Sunday) night, particularly how the first 14 or 15 innings of this series has gone. Much like we talked about coming into yesterdays game and putting Game 1 behind us, in my mind and in our clubhouse, Game 2 is behind us as well. Its been the beauty of this team all year long is to focus on tonights or todays game, and almost be a little bit singular in mind and not be living in the past by any means.” LINEUP CONSIDERATIONS: Andy Dirks will get the start for the Tigers in left field. Jhonny Peralta will play shortstop. Dirks, a left-handed hitter, is 2-5 in his career against Lackey, including a triple. Hes also taken a walk. Dirks is the third starting left fielder for the Tigers in as many games. Peralta (Game 1) and Don Kelly (Game 2) are the others. Mike Napoli will draw back into the starting lineup for the Red Sox, playing first base. GAME THREE PREDICTION: Whats that saying about momentum being the next days starting pitcher? Verlander continues to roll, the Tigers get to Lackey and take a 2-1 lead in the series, winning Tuesdays game 6-2.

An MRI exam revealed a mild strain, general manager Alex Anthopoulos said Sunday on a conference call. "We dont expect him to be out too long," Anthopoulos said. "There was a scenario where we could have just waited maybe five or six days and try to get him back going. But we want to just have this thing resolved and not nag at him." The move was retroactive to Saturday. Janssen, 32, allowed one earned run and four hits in three innings over three pre-season appearances.
