Who was tonight's Tigers player of the game in their 2-1 victory over the Yankees?
The Detroit Tigers didn't collect an extra base hit, ran into multiple outs on the basepaths, and watched the opposing starter throw a complete game. They also came away winners in a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the New York Yankees tonight, their 11th in 13 games this season.
Alfredo Simon nearly repeated his excellent start from five days ago, allowing just one run on seven hits while striking out seven. Simon didn't allow a walk for the second straight start, and threw 109 pitches in 7 1/3 innings.
