Tigers 4, Yankees 3

DETROIT (WWJ/AP) - Omir Santos hits a sacrifice fly with one out in the ninth inning bringing in the winning run and the Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees 4-3 on Saturday night.

As heard on 97.1 The Ticket - Miguel Cabrera hit two solo long balls to center and added a double in the victory over New York.

The second game of the three game series got off to a soggy start and a 39-minute rain delay was called before the end of the first inning.

Detroit overcame a blown save by Jose Valverde (3-1) and an awful night of defense from Santos, a third-string catcher pressed into duty because of injuries. Santos made two errors and allowed five stolen bases - but his fly to right off Boone Logan with the bases loaded in the ninth was deep enough to score Brennan Boesch.

David Phelps (1-2) took the loss.

Valverde hit two batters with pitches and walked two in the ninth, allowing New York to tie it after Cabrera's homer onto a camera platform gave Detroit a 3-2 lead.
