ESPN highlights available here.

The Gist: It had its dicey moments — not the least of which was Kenny Rogers walking the bases loaded in the third — but the Tigers showed some grit in a 6-4 win over the Yankees in the Bronx. Rogers earned his second straight win and limited the Yankees to two runs over six innings. Curtis Granderson doubled and homered and, perhaps showing signs of new life, Gary Sheffield belted a two-run home run, the 482nd of his career. Speaking of new life, Placido Polanco had with four hits and an RBI.

The Quote: “Feeling young is not in the equation anymore.” — Kenny Rogers.
