Follow the Lee-der, Max Scherzer does it!


Max Scherzer sure matched Cliff Lee pitch for pitch in this classic showdown!



Road series starts poorly for Yankees, who drop opener to Tigers.

The Yankees and Tigers worked overtime tonight, as New York lost in walk-off fashion, 4-3 in 1 innings. Despite going 9 strong innings, and allowing 3 runs on 6 hits, Cliff Lee didn't factor into the decision, though he does get a "quality start," his 3rd of the season.

David Aardsma, who entered the game in extra frames, was on the hook for defeat, giving up 1 run in 0 innings of relief.

Francisco Cervelli went 1-for-2, collecting 1 RBI for the club. Cliff Lee was asked what he thought of the game. "It's always tough to lose a game in the latter innings, but sometimes you have to tip your hat to your opponent and move on.

The series continues under the lights tomorrow night, with Andy Pettitte (5-0, 4.00) going for the Yankees against Jeremy Bonderman (2-3, 12.30) and the Tigers.
